Leftovers: Chili cookoff, food drive, and new menus

​​Here are some random newsy items from my reporter’s notebook.

Chili Cookoff Benefit

Great chili comes from the heart, so the third annual chili cook-off sponsored by the Wyandotte Homeless Services Coalition is a no-brainer. The event is slated for Thursday, November 19, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Wilhemina Gill Services Center (645 Nebraska Avenue) in Kansas City, Kansas. Entry is $5 with proceeds going to the Milla Massey Scholarship Fund for “youth who face homelessness.”
