Special Announcement | December 16, 2020

Let's support our community, together! 

Buying local has never been more important - how we spend our dollars will play a major role in shaping the world we eventually return to when the pandemic is finally over.
When we're all doing our best to survive, it's easy to turn to Amazon or big box retailers for those last minute gifts, household essentials, and self-care treats. It takes extra effort to uncover the best local gems ensuring your dollars are staying in the community - so we decided to do most of the detective work for you!  
The AMA PDX Board curated a list of our favorite local makers and retailers. We think you'll love them too. We hope this guide helps you express your gratitude for the people making quarantine more bearable and that it adds to your sense of connection to our community. We encourage you to use this guide for yourself too - whether it's discovering a delicious new take-out option, a new wellness practice, or fresh ideas for date night when you're stuck at home, there's sure to be something to brighten everyone’s winter here. 
Thank you for helping us keep the doors open for as many local businesses as possible!

Search by Ownership or Category

The AMA PDX guide highlights BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA+ owned businesses. It is also organized by category to help you easily find what you're looking for so you can spend less time scrolling and more time with the people and communities that matter most to you. Our team of human volunteers researched these businesses and as humans we do make mistakes, so if we miscategorized a business, please do let us know.  
Please be sure to let these businesses know how you heard about them so they know we’re driving business their way! 

Do you know a business that should be on this guide? 


AMA PDX serves the greater Portland Metro Region which includes the City of Portland, surrounding Portland suburbs, and our neighbors in the North - the City of Vancouver & the Vancouver surrounding suburbs.
P.S. Inclusion in the Keep it Local AMA PDX guide is 100% free for the businesses. We'll reach out to let them know that they've been nominated and that we want to support them. No strings attached.
