Help Potato Champion Staff Weather the Storm

We are reaching out to you on behalf of the fantastic team at Potato Champion, a cornerstone of Portland's food cart community since 2008. This winter has hit us with an unprecedented challenge. A severe snow and ice storm has forced our cart to close for an entire week, significantly impacting our staff and business, and this is on top of a historically slow winter.

During this unexpected shutdown, our dedicated team has missed out on essential working hours, directly affecting their livelihoods. In better times, we would eat the loss and help our employees bridge the gap, but we are fighting for survival this winter, and many of your favorite food carts may not survive.

In the face of disaster, we are humbly initiating a GoFundMe campaign to support our staff who are facing these acute financial challenges. We believe in the strength of community and kindness, and we know that many of you have cherished memories associated with Potato Champion.

Here is how you can help:

100% of the proceeds from this campaign will go directly to our employees, providing them with much-needed financial support.

By contributing, you'll help our staff manage their immediate expenses and navigate through this difficult period.

Your support also sends a strong message of solidarity, showing our team that they are not alone in this struggle.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in the lives of our team members. Today, our food cart family needs the help of our community.

Your generosity and kindness can turn these challenging times into a story of hope and community support.

Thank you for being a champion for our champions!
