Food Not Bombs PDX

Emergency fundraiser update! We are now over halfway to our goal to raise $288,000 in critical supportive funding for Street Roots by September 30th, and we have just one week left to secure the remaining $130,743.50 needed to avoid making significant cuts.

Together, with multitudes of encouraging support from our community, we've raised $157,256.20 from over 1,000 people who recognize and champion the importance of Street Roots, the hard work of our vendors, and the value of our newspaper. Here's how you can be a part of this moment with us:

📣 AMPLIFY our call for support to your network.

💵 DONATE if you can.

🤝 FUNDRAISE to expand our reach & your impact.

👥 and ADVOCATE for Street Roots and our vendors in the community.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Now, it's the final sprint. We've accomplished a great feat together in a short amount of time, but we still have a long way to go to reach our goal! Take action for Street Roots in the next seven days to help secure a steadfast future for Portland's street paper. 💛

Today (Wednesday) is the last day that we're starting our serving at 4:30! Daylight savings is coming so we'll be going back to 5 pm servings for Spring + Summer starting Saturday, March 8. We'll be in the Buckman Elementary lower playground on this lovely day 🌞

Comment below if you're bringing a dish to our vegan potluck. Don't forget to bring your bags, containers, utensils etc.

Please stay home if you are sick! If you are able to bring hand sanitizer and napkins for yourself, it would be appreciated. Do not serve yourself or touch multiple items without clean hands. Please do not lick your hands while eating and then go back for more. There are people who can help serve you, just ask. Thanks all!

We may be serving in upstairs covered court at Buckman Elementary Saturday, as we're expecting an atmospheric river rainfall. If dry, go to the lower playground. Folks are making some delicious food for our vegan potluck! Bring your containers, bags, utensils, compassion. 4:30-6ish see you there 💚
