TEAM’s 18th Annual Community Cookoff (formerly known as Men Who Cook) fundraiser will be held on Saturday, April 25^th, 2026. We hope you will be able to join us for an evening of culinary creations from dozens of volunteer chefs in our community, along with drinks, dancing and raffles.

This event is essential to keep TEAM programs such as Meals on Wheels and medical transportation, community diaper bank, support services including housing, food, and home heating help, income tax assistance and so much more… fully operative & accessible, and able to meet the needs of all who turn to us in the most difficult of circumstances. We hope you will stand alongside us as we aim to ensure all our neighbors have the support and resources they need. And by attending the Community Cookoff, you will be a part of making a meaningful difference in the lives of over 19,000 individuals and families who turn to TEAM each year. This is a record number of people served – the needs in our community continue to grow, and we must make sure TEAM is able to respond!
