Chili for Charity 3/26/2026
To respond to current and emerging challenges related to mental and behavioral wellness in our community, Activate Allen County and the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize, and Hardin Counties (MHRSB) are partnering to provide Community Mini-Grant Funds. These funds will be awarded at a Chili for Charity Luncheon where participants will pay $10 for a Happy Daz chili lunch, and hear 6 "pitches" from 6 local organizations who will discuss how they would innovatively use funds to respond to mental health challenges facing our community - focus on the Opioid Epidemic and how the community can work together to help curve this concern. After the "pitches", everyone votes for the project that they believe should be awarded the funds raised.
These quick-action mini-grants allow anyone who attends to have a say in how the dollars raised are awarded and can see a positive impact. We hope that you join us for this exciting new approach!
