Be Here for Foster-Powell, come to the Makers de Mayo Celebration!
Eat, drink, shop & explore Latin American culture. Over 50 local businesses to wrap in Foster Powell Partners. Noon – 6:00 pm.

Who can receive $50 in Kuto App credits?
Anyone who attends the Makers de Mayo event at Portland Mercado on May 7th from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM can receive a Kuto App gift card credit while supplies last.
Where can Here for Foster-Powell gift card credits be spent?
Credits disbursed through this program can be spent at participating small and local restaurant and retail businesses in and around Foster-Powell. They can be used for making purchases as well as for tipping frontline workers. Small restaurant and retail businesses have been hit the hardest over the past two years so that’s where we’re encouraging intentional shopping and dining. We’re also prioritizing outreach and inclusion to address the disproportionate impact to BIPOC owned businesses, low-income entrepreneurs, food carts, and businesses impacted by break-ins and vandalism.
