Hey foodie friends!
It’s been a week of smoke + ash as we watch the PNW battle some of the most devastating fires we’ve seen so far. A stark reminder for community resiliency. We need more advocacy for animal agriculture reform, environmental protections, and plant-based alternatives. There’s a place for everyone in this quickly changing moment.
With that in mind, let’s keep showing up this weekend to celebrate + elevate what makes Portland Oregon great. Stay safe and support fire relief efforts through donations, supplies, and shares.
