Makin’ Groceries on NE Fremont is low on shopping funds this week. They feed people pay-what-you-can, house or not, no questions asked. Sealed food, drop-off at 7137 NE Fremont. Rice, canned tomatoes, sugar, spices. Gift cards to Winco, Chef Store, or Restaurant Depot, the money stretches. If your like me, share if that’s what you’ve got. by @landing_paper_planes

Happy Monday! Did you know when you google “pay-what-you-can restaurant” this is what pops up! When we talk about our space being unique and important-this is what we mean. The idea of dining with dignity is not unheard of-but we are one of the only places west of the Rockies doing it. Keep Portland on this map, become a monthly donor today! #pdxpaywhatyoucan #pdxcajunfood #pdxnonprofit #diningwithdignity #seeyallsoon❤️ by @landing_paper_planes
Tuesday. The polls will close and we will still be here-building community, making sure people are fed, and providing art and music for everyone- without regard to access to resources. And this particular Tuesday we will be OPEN from 6pm-late to host a fantastic line-up of folks. @danbertnobacon @calebandthemonsters @misskillamusic @batfaithbolshet Brought to us by @sadtimesproductions We will have a killer pay-what-you-can buffet available with crab cake mac, vegan jambalaya, Hoppin’ John’s and more. A set price drink menu - I leaned into the #tubthumping theme- for our full grown guests. Entry is pay-what-you-can, $10 is suggested (musicians gotta live) but no one will be turned away. All ages. Support music. Support food equity. Vote for the world you want by showing up and helping us create it! Come for the music, stay for the community. #pdxelectionnight #pdxpaywhatyoucan #chumbawumba #pdxmusicscene by @landing_paper_planes

It’s almost November! Time for us to start putting together our fall holiday food boxes! Sponsor a family of 4 today with a $50 dollar donation (via QR code or link in bio), sign up to volunteer for food prep, box packing, or to help us out on the 26th for our community meal! We also have sliding scale food boxes for purchase, if you are able to buy a box for yourself, the proceeds directly support free boxes for others! Starting November 5th we are also seeking food donations. Please drop off donations of unexpired, in opened food during our regular business hours or dm for pick-up or drop off at other times! We are looking for: Turkeys acorn Squash butter flour sugar canned pumpkin Whole raw cranberries onions celery Collard greens dry polenta maple syrup bread potatoes whipped cream ½ and ½ tomato paste fresh and dry seasonal herbs Thank you for all your support this year! Let’s get some folks some food! #pdxdonationdrive #pdxthanksgiving #pdxfoodboxgiveaway #pdxholidays #pdxpaywhatyoucan by @landing_paper_planes
It’s that time again. Our take and bake boxes got great feedback last year, so we are doing more this year. We are starting with 15 free boxes and 15 sliding scale boxes, we don’t want to over promise how much the two of us can do and afford. HOWEVER if we get food and monetary donations, and a handful of volunteers-we will bring these numbers up!! We want to take a moment to acknowledge the huge variety of ways that individuals are affected by the holiday season, and the systemic issues around a day that at best ignores the genocide of the people who belong to this land-and at worst celebrates it. We bring folks together through food-and we will continue to do so. If you want to help us get more food to people please consider volunteering, donating food (specific lists coming tomorrow), or sponsoring a food box for a family with a $50 donation or full priced purchase. Free boxes go VERY fast, so be ready to text in your order at 10am on November 1st to get on the list! We will start a waitlist as soon as our number is reached and do our best to get as many boxes as possible to folks. We will also be hosting a completely free community meal on November 26th at the restaurant. When you text your orders please include box size, vegan or vegetarian preferences, and dietary restrictions (we will do our best), and preferred pick-up day and time (Monday 11/23, Tuesday 11/24, or Wednesday 11/25 between 3pm and 9pm). We will respond with confirmation and any follow up questions. Come for the turkey, stay for the community! #pdxfoodboxes #pdxtday #pdxtakeandbake #pdxpaywhatyoucan #landback by @landing_paper_planes

Hey Portland and Roseway neighbors! We are going to be doing a pop up this SUNDAY at Makin’ Groceries Cafe! Buy your bagels from us, and they’ll make them into bagel sandwiches! If you don’t know about Makin’ Groceries Cafe, they are a pay-what-you-can Cajun restaurant (that also does brunch!) that offers amazing food that is accessible to everyone. They’ll be offering a couple of different sandwich options. Find them at @landing_paper_planes And of course we will be at the @happyvalleyfarmersmarket on Saturday for the second to last market of the season! by @landing_paper_planes
What a night, WHAT A TURNOUT!!! 😊 🎤 ❤️ So many talented people came together for a night of love, support and fun at the Unapologetically Open Mic at Makin’ Groceries (@landing_paper_planes). Comedy, music, and even a dance that got the whole restaurant off their feet! Pat Perkins (@ptp_literally_spineless_comic) and I are so thankful for those who take the time to share their art at UOP, and we’d love to see you, too! Our next open mic will be on Thursday, November 5th…whether you want to perform or just watch and enjoy a delicious meal, we’d love to see you ☺️ by @landing_paper_planes
