2026 Chopped Challenge

What is the Chopped Challenge?

Each year, Family Promise of Hendricks County teams up with the Hendricks County Food Pantry Coalition to host an exciting event where participants register a team of four and compete in a cooking challenge to create the best dish using only selected food panty items, the winner is decided by our panel of judges. This is a four-round event with a finale to decide the winner held in the Henricks Power Expo Hall of the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds. Audience members are encouraged to participate in either helping or sabotaging a team of their choice. All proceeds benefit Family Promise of Hendricks County and the Hendricks County Food Pantry Coalition!
