We know this is an especially challenging time and want to ensure everyone has access to a warm, nourishing meal. With fewer options for daily, freely available vegan meals in the area, we felt it was important to step up. Our Community Bowl-featuring rice, parippu (creamy lentil curry), and a rotating vegetable dish-is always nutritious, filling, delicious, and available to anyone for just $8 as an affordable option.

➡A few notes for smooth service:

- Our dining room is small, and we rely on filling seats during busy times (lunch/dinner) to stay afloat. During these

periods, free Community Bowls will be takeout-only. You're welcome to dine in during off-hours.

- Kids and other dependents with an EBT card-holding adult can choose a free Community Bowl OR a free pancake from @coopersvegan.

- Free Community Bowls must be ordered in person (not by phone or online) to keep service running smoothly. They are quick to prepare, so the wait shouldn't be long.

- We intend to continue this offer until SNAP benefits return, but as a small cooperative of nine worker-owners, we must balance community care with our team's livelihoods. We'll keep an eye on our finances and adjust as needed, always with transparency and thoughtfulness for the impact to our community.

If you're looking to help, please first and foremost donate to local mutual aid groups like @equitablegivingcircle, @milkcratekitchenpdx, and @mealsonus.pdx

If you'd like to contribute to our efforts, you can Venmo us at @mirisata OR add a Community Bowl to your next order and ask us not to prepare it—we'll pay it forward. The best support: simply visit us during our slower season!

We are not seeking to profit. If there's a surplus of contributions when SNAP benefits return, we will pass the funds on to the mutual aid groups listed above.

We're all in this together, and we are grateful to be part of a community that shows up for each other with compassion and care.

Many people in our community rely on SNAP to feed their families.

While we are a small business we want to do what we can to those in need.

Starting on November Ist we will be launching our Náymu Náwa Food Pantry

Náymu Náwa means "We are Family" in the Yakama Language and like a family, even though we don't have much, will offer what we can!

•

Everyday from 12pm-6pm (except Tuesdays and Wednesdays) will have a pantry for people who need food to come and get something to eat. We will have things like canned goods, rice, produce, spices, oatmeal, beans and fruit etc. Take what you need, but keep in mind we need to help others too as well.

•

If you want to help us you can donate your own goods for our community pantry or send money to our venmo @javelina_pdx “
