Feed the Mass to Open 1st Nourish Market, Bringing Grocery Store Back to Old Town Portland

Feed the Mass, a nonprofit organization, is set to open 1st & Nourish Market in Old Town, Portland, by the end of 2026. This initiative aims to bring a full-service grocery store back to a neighborhood that has lacked one for decades. The market will be located on the ground floor of the Nourish Building, Feed the Mass's five-story headquarters at 80 NW Davis St. The store plans to operate four days a week initially, accepting EBT and offering online ordering and delivery services. Jacob Valentine, founder and executive director of Feed the Mass, emphasized that the store's primary goal is to feed the community, not to generate profit. The market will prioritize local sourcing and aims for a zero-waste model, utilizing unsold produce in the 7,000 meals the nonprofit already prepares weekly.

More than a dozen U.S. Catholic bishops met with members of Congress on September 16 to advocate for effective safety guardrails on artificial intelligence (AI) and the passage of the Kids Online Safety Act. These meetings coincided with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) announcing a new task force dedicated to engaging with tech leaders and lawmakers on concerns regarding AI, human dignity, and online child safety. Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of Portland, Oregon, chair of the USCCB’s religious liberty committee, emphasized the urgency of establishing AI guardrails within the next 12-18 months due to rapid technological advancements.
