Our Vendors

Our dedicated vendors are at the heart of street roots' mission.

Over 70 active vendors buy and resell street roots in the Portland metropolitan area and Vancouver. Between 15,000 and 25,000 copies of street roots are sold or distributed every month.

Vendors normally purchase papers for 30¢ each and sell them for $1 each. The 70¢ that a vendor nets from each paper sold helps him or her meet basic housing, food, clothing, and hygiene needs. Many vendors support themselves primarily through sales of the paper.

The 30¢ from each paper that remains with street roots is used to cover essential expenses such as printing costs, payroll, distribution costs, rent, utilities, office expenses, vendor incentives, and emergency assistance.
