Join us in supporting Street Roots by giving to their Spring Fund Drive from June 10th-15th and we will thank you with a culinary experience!
Street Roots is a nonprofit creating income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by producing a newspaper and other media that are catalysts for individual and social change.
For the past 20 years, Street Roots has operated with the hand-up, not hand-out mentality. As such, their vendors are all small business owners who purchase each paper for a quarter and sell it for a $1.00, keeping the profits. In 2018, they worked with nearly 700 vendors and Portlanders put more than $500,000 in their pockets.
Supporting Street Roots means giving individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty a hand up. It means supporting quality journalism. It means supporting our community.
Check out our thank you gifts below below and give someone a hand up by DONATING to Street Roots today!
