Meals On Us PDX is a BIPOC 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization based in Portland, Oregon.
It was founded in 2020 to provide nutritious meals, at no cost, to individuals experiencing hunger and food insecurity within our community as a response to the global pandemic. We believe that food is a basic human right and that everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, or economic circumstances, deserve to have reliable and consistent food sources.
We are committed to doing everything we can to fill the gaps in our food system and prioritize serving marginalized communities that are most in need. We create and distribute over 400 free meals per week with our Free Fridge program, over 300 meals per week distributed directly to people in need, as well as over 1,600 meals per week to shelters run by our community partners.

We are a small and scrappy group working hard to feed as many people as possible, but we can’t do it without help.
We are reaching out to our community to ask to help us pay the cost of our pass-throughs. Pass-throughs come in the form of a large bill at the end of a year, and it’s hard for a small group such as ours to raise this money alone. With your help, we are hoping to raise $25,000 to cover this bill. We’ve witnessed the power of grassroots community organizing and fundraising, and we hope you will aid us in accomplishing this goal to keep this community kitchen open and thriving.
