I will be seeing patients and have a few openings. Feel free to come in for treatment and to request a free or discounted treatment.

For 24 hours on Thursday, December 18th, we are asking immigrants, their loved ones and allies to skip work, close businesses, stay out of school and avoid shopping to demonstrate our collective economic power.

Immigrants are vital members of our communities, making up 19% of the US workforce.
Oregon can't run without us.

We keep America running.

Visit 's page for more info on how to stand up for immigrant communities.

Urban Gleaners is a local resource to reduce food waste and food insecurity. If you are facing loss of SNAP benefits next week, or are struggling with increasing food costs in general, it’s one resource. I’ll try to post more resources this week. If you’re not facing food insecurity, consider donating to one of these organizations.

📸 A snapshot of a year’s worth of groceries from Urban Gleaners.

Recently one of our Woodlawn Park market shoppers shared a photo diary of her Urban Gleaners grocery hauls for an entire year. She shops this market to feed her family and to offset rising costs on other vital necessities.

750,000 Oregonians are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits starting November 1st meaning access to nutritious food will be more important than ever before.

We’ve already seen a yearly 25% increase in attendance at our markets and we’re expecting to see that number grow even more starting next month.

With support from our community, we’re able to provide wholesome groceries to food insecure families year-round. As we prepare for this major shift in food access, your support will make more impact than ever.

If you feel encouraged to help us get food to the community, no questions asked, you can donate funds or food by following the link in our bio.

Together, we can make a reality💚

ATTN: SNAP CUSTOMERS!
The market is encouraging those with SNAP food benefits to shop the market and stock up on shelf stable foods and storage crops prior to Nov 1st given the uncertainty surrounding government funding for recipients. Our next market is Oct 25th from 9am-2pm.
