SJFS is an amazing place! They provide food to so many people! Everybody walks away with bags…read moreoverflowing with many types of food. They have frozen meat (beef, chicken, pork), dairy, eggs (sometimes), lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, ready-made meals, canned goods, dry food, dessert, and more. Since their model is based on donations, you never know what you're going to get- but that's part of the fun. I love seeing what unusual vegetables and fruits they have. The volunteers are great, and they help new clients figure out the store's layout. They're always available to answer questions. Most of the volunteers only speak English, but a few are fluent (at least at a conversational level) in Spanish and other languages. There is a line, so be prepared to wait awhile. The volunteers set up tents to cover people in line if it's raining. I definitely recommend going here if you are struggling to afford food. It's a lifesaver. It's 100% free to use and doesn't have income barriers.

Working with Andrew of Portland Ironworks on a custom mechanized iron and wood driveway gate was…read moresuch a refreshing and rewarding construction process. He is creative, industrious, kind, and a quality-driven professional. We had some rough ideas about how the project might take shape, but could not have imagined it to turn out as well as it did. Typical project snags were encountered along the way and Andrew was terrific in proactive solution finding and collaborative communication. His attention to detail shows in the quality of his finished project and the fact that he takes pride in a job well done is a gift to those fortunate enough to work with him. We hope to get a chance to collaborate again in the future and cannot recommend Portland Ironworks highly enough.

I knew we had picked and excellent artisan when I heard how happy the installation and his perfectly parallel lines worked from initial measurements to fabrication and ultimately the installation. He took particular care to also ensure the railing is as functional and stable as it is clean and precise. We would use him again on a heartbeat.

I almost never leave reviews after a single visit anywhere...but I can't stop thinking about the…read moreexperience I had. I arrived in the afternoon a week or so ago (beginning of December) to mail a Christmas card to the Netherlands. The line was HUGE, out the door. There was a single elder gentlemen (and by elder I don't mean OLD, just older than me with white-gray-brown hair, tall, with glasses, wearing a mask) helping folks. He...was...so...patient. And kind. I watched as he helped a younger man who didn't speak any English, pulling out a phone to translate for the young man. I don't know if USPS trains for this (if they do, freaking kudos to you all), but it wasn't just WHAT you were doing it was the WAY you were doing it. Obvious respect for a non-English speaker instead of the usual contempt many folks would have shown. Again the patience, when he didn't hear or understand your question you repeated it in English and again showed your phone and translated via text. I can only imagine how hard it must be to work a holiday shift with a line out the door and maintain your calm, and KIND presence with everyone you spoke to in front of me that day. So yea. Even though it was literally a 30minute wait to buy a stamp to send a single Christmas card, you restored a little bit of faith in humanity for that day. Thank you for your service. Happy holidays.

I can't say enough good things about Portland Tennis & Education (PT&E)…read more This isn't just a place where kids learn tennis - it's a true community hub that combines high-quality coaching with academic support, mentorship, and a genuinely welcoming environment. Every time I'm on site, I see staff and volunteers greeting kids by name, checking in on school, celebrating small wins, and creating a space where students feel seen and supported. The tennis coaching is fantastic, but what really sets PT&E apart is the focus on education and character. Students are getting homework help, learning life skills, and building confidence on and off the court. Families are embraced, not just "served," and you can feel that sense of trust and belonging from the moment you walk in. The leadership team works incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep programs strong, safe, and accessible, and it shows - from well-run events like the annual Tennis Ball to thoughtful communication with families and supporters. If you care about kids, education, and equity in Portland, supporting PT&E is one of the best things you can do.
