Support Black-Owned Businesses this Small Business Saturday

Small Businesses are part of what keeps Portland the unique, fun city it is. November is a great month for shopping in PDX, and an even better time to use your money to support BIPOC and LGBTQ+ owned businesses that tend to lose sales to big-box stores around the holidays.
