OUR VENDORS
A t the heart o f Street Roots' mission are its hard working and dedicated vendors. Vendors buy Street Roots fo r 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 vendor badge
and each is assigned to a specific territory. Vendors are empowered not only in their work to sell the paper, but many also contribute as
writers and production assistants. The money they earn helps them meet basic housing, food and health care needs.
