Soup Bowl fundraiser supports The Harbor
By DAN HAAG
FOR COAST WEEKEND
The Harbor, one of the
first women’s resources
agencies in Oregon, will
host its 14th annual Soup
Bowl fundraiser 5:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 10, at The
Loft at The Red Building
(20 Basin St., Astoria).
The event is a chance
for the community to rec-
ognize the efforts of The
Harbor’s staff, volunteers
and community partners,
and to celebrate the survi-
vors the organization has
served.
Now in its 41st year,
the nonprofit provides
intervention, recovery and
support to survivors of
domestic violence, sexual
assault and stalking.
The Soup Bowl’s
proceeds go toward The
Harbor’s myriad programs,
including a 24-hour crisis
line, a drop-in center, child
advocacy and the Déjà Vu
Thrift Shop.
“It all started around a
kitchen table with some
women who were con-
cerned about domestic
violence,” Sue Farmer, the

interim executive director,
said.
The Soup Bowl is a fes-
tive fusion of pottery arts,
culinary arts and public
service. It is The Harbor’s
largest and most popu-
lar fundraiser — and for
good reason, considering
the combination of local
culinary efforts: hand-
made bread from The Blue
Scorcher Bakery & Cafe,
beer from local brewers,
and desserts from local
bakers.

–– including chefs from
the area’s top restaurants
–– will donate their talent,
time and soup offerings
for a unique dining expe-
rience.
Tickets are $50 per
person for soup and the
bowl. The price includes
appetizers, salad, bread
and dessert.
If there is a deep-
er reason to attend, the
answer is simple: “It takes
a community that works
together to break the cycle
of domestic violence and
sexual assault,” Farmer
said. “Donations help The
Harbor continue serving
the people of Clatsop
County in the greatest
hour of need.”
Soup Bowl tickets are
available at harbornw.org
and at the Deja Vu Thrift
Store (1389 Duane St.).

a colorful display of 150
bowls, from which they
can choose one.
And, according to
Farmer, there are no bad
choices. “They are some
beautiful bowls with won-
derful colors,” she said.
As with all previous
years’ Soup Bowls, The
Harbor has collaborated
with the Clatsop Com-
munity College potters
– led by pottery instructor
Richard Rowland – to
offer striking handcrafted
specimens.
The participating
potters have spent months
meticulously crafting the
bowls, all of which have
been fired in Astoria’s
renowned Dragon Kiln.
If the bowls are es-
sential, so are the soups
on hand to put in them.
