Our Streets was founded June 7, 2020 by Mitchell Asemota and Mikah Takashige. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on providing meals and groceries to houseless and low-income residents, environmental activism, and youth development opportunities. Our Streets seeks to provide a voice and strength to our community in a way that addresses the ever-changing dynamic of our society. The fluidity of our approach allows us to address numerous aspects of the community, such as environmental injustice, houselessness, food insecurity, civilian oppression, and youth engagement in a way that aids our goal of creating a well-rounded populace. Our focus on communal decision-making allows us to gain valuable insight from our team and volunteers to determine the most effective way to make a meaningful impact on the Portland community and its residents. With unity as our focal point, we strive to incorporate Portland’s vast array of perspectives and needs into our business structure and allow ourselves to be continual learners and perpetuate growth in everything we do.
Every day of the week Our Streets staff prepares hundreds of meals for various shelters in the Portland area. Wednesday evenings the kitchen opens up to volunteers to assist with food prep. This helps carry staff through the week with essential items such as sliced vegetables, herbs and more. Providing the people we serve with well-rounded, nutritious meals is our top priority, and kitchen volunteers help make it all possible.
