Care Over Capitalism: Not Black Friday!

Our annual NOT BLACK FRIDAY programming is a mutual aid & community care initiative that replaces consumerism with direct support, free food & resource distribution to our most impacted neighbors. We feed hundreds of families every year and this year - we need your support.

With the help of Plant Based Papi and Ricky Bella of Palomar, we are launching The Heat Project to cover the costs of NOT BLACK FRIDAY meals and to support Don’t Shoot Portlands’ ongoing community outreach. Please consider contributing a $15-20 suggested one-time donation and we also encourage you to make it monthly! Our advocacy continues year-round.

Pre orders are open now.

Email socialoutreach@dontshootpdx.org with Not Black Friday in the subject line to request meals; please make sure to note how many meals needed, contact info and any dietary or allergy restrictions. Don’t Shoot Portland is a 501c3 nonprofit. If you’re interested in volunteering or sponsoring this work, please email contact@dontshootpdx.org! Learn more at: www.dontshootpdx.org

More about Not Black Friday: Starting back in 2016, this program is meant to uplift the needs of our most impacted. Collaborating with local partners, Don’t Shoot PDX prepares and distributes hundreds of hot, free meals for community members and unhoused neighbors. Our community pantry DSPDX Annex (located at 927 NW Everett St) operates year-round and scales up as a free resource distributing winter coats, socks, hygiene items, and pantry staples.
