At the heart of Street
Roots' mission are its
hard working and
dedicated vendors.
Vendors buy Street
Roots for 25 cents
and sell the paper for
$1. More than 50
vendors sell Street
Roots in the Portland
metro area and
Vancouver. Each
vendor can be
identified by a
vendoHoadgean^
specific territory.
Vendors are
empowered not only
in their work to sell
the paper, but many
also contribute as
writersand
production assistants.
The money they earn
helps them meet
basic housing, food
and health care
needs.
