Meal of the Year

The Meal of the Year is more than just a celebration; it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of COCC students. This event raises essential funds for scholarships, helping students pursue their dreams and open doors to endless opportunities.

Each year, Meal of the Year raises $450,000 for COCC scholarships. What makes this event even more special is that many of the volunteers are scholarship recipients themselves and the delicious 4-course meal is expertly prepared and served by COCC's Cascade Culinary Institute staff and students.

For 46 years, we’ve come together for an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional food, live auction, refreshing drinks, engaging conversation and games, and fantastic company—all in support of student success at COCC. We hope to see you there!

Save the date for next year's Meal of the Year: April 11, 2026
