Pantry: ‘We can’t be effective if we’re worried about our family’

resources already at hand.
Rather than the justice of
the world, which seeks to
punish and exact payment
from people, this kind of
justice seeks to understand
the reasons behind a per-
son’s actions and restore
them to community.
Patterson, an avid gar-
dener and cook, describes
herself as “a very displaced
New Englander” who has
lived all across the United
States. She took over as
the pastor of First United
Methodist Church six
months ago, sent here by
bishops who believed the
congregation would benefit
from her specific gifts.
Even as a child, she felt
comfort in churches and
later felt a particular call to
the ministry. But she didn’t
know where she fit into that
world. Her family, cultur-
ally Catholic, wanted her to
be a lawyer. Patterson con-
sidered being a teacher.
It wasn’t until she was
in her early 20s that she
met her first female pas-
tor. This experience, com-
bined with an internation-
ally and religiously diverse
group at the seminary she
attended, helped her flesh
out a vision for what she
could do.
At 30 years old, Patter-
son is often the only mil-
lennial in the churches she
pastors. It puts her into the
interesting position of act-
ing as a spiritual leader
to people who often have
decades or more worth of
life experience.
It has forced this self-de-
scribed “fixer” to become a
better listener. Humility is
key, she said.
In many cases, though,
her youth allows her to offer
a different perspective.
“I believe we’re see-
ing a generational break-
down,” she said. “I am able
and in a position to speak
across that when the breaks
occur in people’s lives.”
Patterson believes the
church, at its best, acts as a
resource for people’s indi-
vidual walks with God, but
also connects them to each
other, providing ways for
them to practice the bibli-
cal command to “love thy
neighbor as thyself.”
The small congregation
at First United practices
this in several ways, most
publicly as the hosts of the
Astoria Warming Center,
an emergency shelter that
offers the homeless dinner
and a warm place to sleep
during the winter months.
Though supported by the
church’s congregation and
pastors, the warming cen-
ter has been the source of
some contention in the
neighborhood. It has had
to fight to continue oper-
ating out of the church’s
basement.
Patterson and the con-
gregation are in what she
calls “a period of discern-
ment” about what kind
of ministries to engage in
next. But she believes sup-
port for the homeless and
addressing issues around
homelessness will be major
themes.
“It seems to be where
everyone’s heart is,” she
said.
The church succeeds,
she said, “if we can make
our community a more
loving, kind and gener-
ous and justice-oriented
community.”
Co-op: Expansion seen as a survival tactic
Continued from Page A1
The co-op began as a
buying club among locals
who would travel to Port-
land and bring products
back to the house of former
Clatsop County Commis-
sioner Peter Huhtala. The
nonprofit House of Many
Waves, led by Huhtala, pro-
vided the seed money to
open the Community Store,
the grocer’s first location
in the present-day Colum-
bian Cafe on Marine Drive
in 1974.
In the 1980s, the store
transitioned to ownership
by a cooperative of work-
ers. By 1989, it had moved
to the corner suite of the
Norblad Building, most
recently home to the Deja
Vu Thrift Store.
The transition from a
nonprofit into a true coop-
erative began in the early
2000s, according to Stew-
art Bell, one of the original
co-founders of the store. The
co-op looked to expand in
downtown and was offered
a chance to buy the for-
mer Ocean Crest car dealer-
ship at 16th and Exchange
streets. But the store ulti-
mately moved in the late
2000s into the Shark Rock
Building owned by busi-
ness partners Paul Caruana
and Brian Faherty.

Sector Columbia River. Petty Offi-
cer 1st Class Levi Read, a spokesman
for Sector Columbia River, said that
between the beginning of the shut-
down and Saturday, the agency had
gone on 36 cases, saving 12 people in
imminent danger and assisting another
53 needing towing and other services.
Capt.
Jeremy
Smith,
com-
mander of Sector Columbia River,
said the response by the community
has been phenomenal. The agency
has been ensuring personnel know
about all the financial and other
support available, while trying to
wrap in support for the employees of
other shuttered federal agencies.
Senior Chief Matt Gerber, pres-
ident of the Lower Columbia Chief
Petty Officer Association, said the
group has gathered more than $27,000
in donations. The group distributes
the money to personnel from Grays
Harbor, Washington, to Tillamook and
inland to units in Portland.
“What we owe (the community)
when we come out of this, I don’t
know where to start,” Gerber said.
Joshua Shaffer, a helicopter
mechanic and hoist operator at Air
Station Astoria, volunteered at the
pantry over the weekend. He has
been on about five search and res-
cue cases this year and said the
Coast Guard remains diligent regard-
less of the shutdown.
Many active-duty Coast Guard
have been hesitant to talk publicly
about the effect of the shutdown. But
while he and others remain ready to
serve, they need to take advantage of
every opportunity to keep themselves
and their families safe and fed, Shaffer
said. “We can’t be effective if we’re
worried about our family,” he said.
Benson said the food pantry will
come back next weekend and as long
as the shutdown and community sup-
port continue.
Volunteers with Be the Light are
taking donations at Fred Meyer in War-
renton; Safeway and the Coast Guard
Exchange in Astoria; and Clean Line
Surf in Seaside and Cannon Beach.
competitive market.
“I think in a way we
really have to do this,” he
said. “Co-ops in the coun-
try that aren’t adapting and
evolving are struggling a
lot.”
