Project Host is a Greenville-area nonprofit that has been building community through food since 1981. Our mission is to use food as a tool to nourish the hungry and train the unemployed.
We fight food insecurity in the greater Greenville area by feeding the hungry through our Soup Kitchen and Cooking for Kids program, training and educating the un- and underemployed in our CC Pearce Culinary School, and paying it forward through our social enterprises—the HostMobile food truck and the Bakery. Our annual BBQ Cook-off and Festival is an opportunity to invite greater Greenville to celebrate the gift of food with us while raising funds to support our programming.
Project Host BBQ Cook-off and Festival invites you to participate in this fun event for a great cause while competing against other professional cookers for top prizes and awards. The Anything Butt Contest held Friday night invites you to make your best sweet or savory dish and have it judged by Greenville area first responders.
Saturday’s competition focuses on pork butts and is held in conjunction with the South Carolina BBQ Association. Cash prizes and bragging rights will be handed out at an awards ceremony Saturday afternoon.
COOKER REGISTRATION WILL OPEN IN SPRING 2023!
