My church, Trinity, helps the homeless of Atlanta with its ministry, Lazarus. One of the big events we have is our annual Superbowl chilly cook-off, where we provide food and clothing to the homeless and anyone can make their own secret chilly recipe and bring it to be eaten and judged. I had several batches, and there’s nothing better on a cold February night!

Allison is the incredible person that started Lazarus 10 years ago. She’s come a long way with Lazarus Ministries and now oversees the mission’s day-to-day operation!

Local musicians also contribute to Lazarus and CD’s are released to benefit to mission. Check it out here.

From Trinity’s site:
“Lazarus is a ministry for the homeless. Our main purpose is friendship––to look the poor in the eye when most look the other way. There are several opportunities to get involved throughout the year. In addition to multiple large events, we take to the streets several times weekly to build relationships and pass out food items. Email lazarus for more information or visit their site at Lazarus Atlanta.”

Hope you enjoy!
