OK's
Cascade Company is based in Monroe, Wash. Founded in 1970, the
company has grown into a multi-faceted organization that provides
a variety of services during emergencies and planned events across
the country. These range from feeding firefighters battling forest
fires in remote locations, to tending to the food-service needs of
more than 3,700 bicyclists riding to raise funds between Boston
and New York, or fans attending such events as the 1996 Olympic
Games in Atlanta, or the Master's Golf Tournament. |

Currently, OK's Cascade Company has 13 mobile kitchens, 13 mobile
showers, numerous tractors, refrigerated trailers and other
service vehicles in its own fleet of 220 pieces of rolling stock.
Such resources have enabled the company to set up, within hours, a
"self-supporting city" that is equipped to prepare and serve
thousands of meals daily. Additionally, its customers can rent
mobile kitchens, showers and laundries. Besides Monroe, Wash., it
has offices in Twisp, Wash., and Louisville, Ky. |
