Clarkston/Lewiston YWCA "SOUP-port" Fundraiser

LEWISTON - The YWCA of Clarkston/Lewiston, which serves Columbia County for victims of domestic-related crimes and incidents, will be holding its annual SOUPport fundraiser on Feb. 23, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

At this annual event, the public is invited to come to the YWCA center, or order delivery, for a soup lunch served in a one-of-a-kind soup bowl (hand painted by local artists and volunteers). Tickets are $25. The YWCA is located at 300 Main St. in Lewiston

Funds raised from this event cover finances for shelters and programs not covered by grants.

Last year the event served more 1,000 people. Local law enforcement and firefighters donate the soup and have a soup cook-off. Partcipants vote by placing coins in the handy cans by each soup kettle.
