Hello everyone,

It has been a wild year, but now we have come to the end of 2020. The drama (and accompanying hardships) has been plentiful and relentless; but as we look back on what the year has brought, we find ourselves in awe of the potent and delicate threads connecting all of us. Amid the disorientation of the Twin Pandemics of COVID-19 and State Violence, we find that the only way forward is to give all that we can to community. We now realize it’s all there is to do. 

During the Spring we were inspired by the action of PDX Free Fridge and started the Beaverton Food Project. This project’s main goal was and continues to be the creation of a system of free food pantries and fridges throughout our community. It is our hope that the Project serves as a vessel of not only sustenance but kinship, too. Already, we have all come so far! By contributing what you can and taking what you want, you all are the heart of this system.It is our hope that this practice of mutuality will continue to nourish our community through the new year and beyond!

Infinite love & gratitude,

Beaverton Food Project
