Dear Street Rooters,

One of the most powerful things about Street Roots is the relationship between readers, people experiencing poverty and the business community. Every day readers, vendors and the business community work together to create an atmosphere that allows for people on the streets to get a hand up in life through the sales of the newspaper. Readers getting an informative and award-winning newspaper is icing on the cake.

Street Roots 10-day online auction is currently happening. The online event is a way to support local business and Street Roots at the same time.

But I have to go create an eBay account?

Why yes, yes, you do. But once you do that, it’s easy breezy lemon squeezy. It’s fun and engaging. You can share that you are supporting Street Roots this year through the auction by posting on social media or email and sending the link to friends. We believe in community at Street Roots, and we know you do too. Take five minutes and give it a try. It’s a hoot!

What’s available at the Street Roots online auction?

We have some amazing auction items.

More than 40 gift-certificates from local resturants and breweries around the city. 

We have massages, yoga, haircuts, pilates, and more…

Tattoos your thing? OpenSource technology trainings? Live shows, bookstores and more…

We have some great experiences for you to take part in, including a private show with Casey Neill, piano lessons from the Decemberists Jenny Conlee, a day with the Portland Mercury news editor, hot-air ballon rides and more.

And last, but not least, we have some great art and photography

From all of us at Street Roots, thank you for your consideration. Enjoy the bidding!

Sincerely,

Israel Bayer
Street Roots
