ABOUT

​MISSION AND HISTORY

MISSION

The mission of the Lower Columbia Q Center is to be a safe and welcoming resource and support service to the LGBTIQ community, friends, families and allies of the Lower Columbia Region.

​

HISTORY

The Lower Columbia Q Center (LCQC) was founded in 2014 by a group of individuals who saw the need for an organization that would be a safe, welcoming resource and advocate for the LGBTIQ community, friends, families, and allies of the Lower Columbia Region.

​

In 2016, the LCQC held the first annual Astoria Pride. Since that time, Astoria Pride has grown into a bigger, better, and more fierce advocacy, awareness, and community event.
