Cooking for a Cause is a yearly charity fundraising event. Meals on Wheels partners with SANEWA at the Davenport Centennial for a night of fine dining with a purpose. Local chefs come together to compete: donating their time, food and talent to cook their signature dishes while over 350 guests feast and vote on their favorites.

About the Event
What is Cooking for a Cause?
Cooking for a Cause is a renowned charity event aimed at supporting the elderly and disabled individuals in Spokane through the power of food and community.
​
Join us at the Centennial Hotel in Spokane for 'Cooking for a Cause,' where 11 talented local chefs showcase their culinary prowess with 007-themed signature dishes. From appetizers to desserts, each chef presents three tantalizing creations. Guests vote for their favorites, with awards presented by our host, Cory Howard from KHQ. Enjoy an evening of gourmet delights, auctions, and a paddle raise, all in support of a great cause!
Each chef will prepare 3 small dish courses to be enjoyed by our guests. Themed dishes and booth décor is encouraged for the best experience for our guests. Every guest will be given a ballot to vote for their favorite chef, and a local culinary celebrity guest judge will help decide our event's winner!
​
The proceeds of this event will support Meals on Wheels of Greater Spokane County's mission to feed food insecure homebound seniors in the Greater Spokane County region.
