Proceeds from the Soup Bowl support the many community programs and services offered by the ToC including: advocacy, education, outreach, emergency and support services, and shelter.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and Tides of Change is Tillamook County’s nonprofit dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence, the national #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This collaborative effort aims to shed light on the pervasive issue of domestic violence and empower people to come together as communities to address this epidemic.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month, held annually in October, allows communities nationwide to join forces to raise awareness about the far-reaching impact of domestic violence. The #Every1KnowsSome1 campaign focuses on the theme that everyone knows someone affected by domestic violence, whether they realize it or not.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47.3% of women and 44.2% of men in the United States have reported contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime. The CDC also finds that lesbian women (56.3%), gay men (47.7%), bisexual women (69.3%), and bisexual men (46.1%) face even higher rates of violence.

High rates of domestic violence are not private, individual problems; they require community solutions. By acknowledging this reality, we can collectively work towards ending domestic violence and creating safe, healthy communities for everyone.

Tides of Change is a non-profit organization made up of committed individuals from all walks of life, both paid staff and volunteers. We are all working together to provide hope, safety and support to survivors.
