Carpenter's Shelter

Carpenter's Cook-Off Sunday, October 25 12-3pm at The Birchmere

The Carpenter’s Cook-Off brings our community of supporters to The Birchmere for an afternoon of exceptional local food and collective generosity. Guests can explore tastings from some of the DMV’s best restaurants, enter exciting raffles, and bid on unique items and experiences in our live and silent auctions.

At the heart of it all is a shared commitment to ensuring families and individuals experiencing homelessness have access to the comprehensive services, resources, and support needed to regain stability. All proceeds raised through the Cook-Off strengthen Carpenter’s Shelter’s ability to meet immediate needs while helping residents work towards sustainable independence.

Join us to celebrate local flavor, invest in lasting housing solutions, and help move our community forward.

With food, fun, and family-friendly vibes, this event is a can’t-miss for supporters of all ages.
