Yesterday we posted a list to help those looking for ways to support Portland's Black community while educating themselves about America's systemic racism.
Today, we want to take it a step further and provide a list of Black-owned/co-owned restaurants in the city that are still operating during the coronavirus shutdown and could use some patronage to make sure they can keep making food and drinks for now and into the future. Every dollar you spend there feeds the local economy while helping them continue to serve the Black community.
We put this together using the already amazing resource I Love Black Food as well as other sources, double-checking each spot to make sure they are open for business and offering pickup/delivery right now. THIS LIST IS JUST A STARTING POINT. If we've made any errors or missed out on businesses that should be included, please email us and we'll update this post.
