What an honor for our very own Culinary Director Caitlyn Tuttle to be one of the finalists for the Kaiser Permanente Community Health Impact Award as part of the EmpowHER Awards hosted by Portland Thorns FC and Portland Fire.

Alongside eight other women doing incredible work, Caitlyn was recognized for her great efforts in contributing to the health of our local community. Our meals make a unique impact thanks to her specialization in nutrition and recipe design, creating meals that are both high quality and nourishing for people in need.

Thank you Kaiser Permanente Northwest for recognizing the extraordinary work of all these amazing women. 🖤

When communities are overtaken by wildfires, the recovery process is near indefinite. For the Warm Springs Reservation, many have been evacuated as the Bench fire has burned through more than 60,000 acres, adding to the more than 2 million acres of Oregon destroyed by wildfires this year alone.

Supportive efforts include monetary donations for residents of the community, animal welfare, and donations for water or hygiene items.

and provide links for how to directly support various tribes and relief efforts while sharing up-to-date information and needs. 🖤

Our current volunteer hours 🖤

We have opportunities available daily both in the morning and afternoon. You can help prepare ingredients for our meals in the morning or help with meal packaging, cleaning, and other various tasks in the afternoon.

Today is the last day to support Our Streets as part of a national movement with Albertsons Companies bringing nonprofits together around a shared mission of ending childhood hunger.

Every dollar we raise supports our mission to nourish our community and contributes to a collective $5 million goal to help more children and families access the food they need to thrive.

You can make your gift before the campaign ends here: https://ourstreets.org/contribute/ 🖤

The 4th of July celebrates the creation of the United States under the assertion that "all men are created equal." Yet equality and freedom for all has never truly existed.

Today we recognize that many in this country are not free, and are instead facing more severe oppression by the day.

We remember those who have fought for our freedom, and are in solidarity with those who have suffered at the hands of colonialism.

We're joining the revolution 🖤

The Nourish the American dream campaign hosted by Albertsons Companies is on a mission to raise $5 million for the revolution to end childhood hunger once and for all.

From now until July 7th, every new donation made to Our Streets will be matched up to $5,000. Every dollar goes towards this goal.

You can donate to Our Streets' meal initiative here: https://ourstreets.org/contribute/. 🥘

Portland contains its own rich history of its LGBTQ+ community. A documenter of this history is photographer Donna Pollach, a Portland le***an who spent decades capturing photos of the city's active LGBTQ+ community.

In 2024, the Oregon Historical Society digitized a large selection of her photos. These are some of those photos, including moments from Portland's first official Pride Day, the AIDS Memorial Quilt hosted at University of Portland, and all the tender moments in between. 🏳️‍🌈

It's time for the annual matching event! Starting tomorrow May 13 until May 19, donations made by customers to the Nourish Our Neighbors campaign at the New Seasons checkout will be matched by New Seasons up to $42,000.

Nourish Our Neighbors directly supports local organizations, including Our Streets, addressing food insecurity. Donations will be divided evenly amongst the participating organizations.

This is a great, easy way to support food access in our community. 🖤
