We need your help — urgently.

Landing Paper Planes is facing a make-or-break moment. Without raising $20,000 before the end of the year, we will be forced to close the doors of Makin’ Groceries, our pay-what-you-can café and community arts space in Portland.

For the past year, this little space has provided:

Thousands of meals with dignity — no proof required, no questions asked
A safe gathering place for music, art, and creative expression
Warmth, nourishment, and community for neighbors facing food insecurity and isolation

We believe everyone deserves good food and a welcoming table — not charity, not conditions — but dignity.

Right now, we are one funding gap away from losing it all.

Your donation today directly keeps our doors open:

$25 feeds families
$100 covers a day of food service supplies
$500 funds a week of community programming
$1,000 sponsors a full day of café operations
