How to Support the Portland Area’s Black-Owned Restaurants - Eater Portland
Jun 05, 2020 1 min, 6 secs

As Portland continues to protest violence against black civilians and police brutality, many local diners have begun searching for black-owned businesses and restaurants to support, either by donating funds or buying dinner.

Below, we list a number of different lists, maps, and guides covering black-owned businesses in the area, as well as a number of black-owned restaurants and organizations directly giving out free meals to black Portlanders and protesters.

In 2014, Size Queen’s Bertha Pearl created a Facebook event celebrating black-owned restaurants, which included a list on Facebook of black-owned businesses to support.

Mercatus’s list of black-owned businesses has a handy filter-able search engine, so those looking for black-owned restaurants, bars, or caterers can filter out to find specific lists of just those kinds of businesses.

The benefit of the Black PDX search is that each list is separated by town, so people looking for black-owned businesses in Gresham, Beaverton, or another specific suburb or city outside Portland can easily find everything — including non-restaurant businesses and organizations — in their immediate communities.

There are a number of black-owned farms, farmer collectives, and organizations that help with business development and mentorship that might also be worth a donation, including the Equitable Giving Circle, the Black American Chamber of Commerce, the Portland chapter of the NAACP, and the Black Food Sovereignty Coalition, among others.
