PGH Building Purchase Campaign

“Here to Stay” Campaign

The Portland Gear Hub is a non-profit bike + outdoor gear shop located at 155 Washington Ave that promotes cycling, reuse, sustainability, and outdoor equity as a part of Ketcha Outdoors. We have been serving the Portland community for 10 years.

Campaign Progress and Deadline

We have a time-limited opportunity to purchase our building and property at 155 Washington Ave in Portland. Owning this property will eliminate uncertainties related to rental rates, lease renewals, and the risk of relocating in Portland’s dynamic real estate market. 

Our current large lot, spanning 13,000 sq. ft., is essential for hosting volunteer groups, programs, community events, and safe test rides. The building and parking lot have been customized and improved to meet our programming, recycling, donation, and storage needs. Additionally, we are in a prime location, ensuring that the people who need our services most can easily access them. We need $1,560,00 to buy the building, and we’ve already raised over $1.2M!!

This opportunity expires on December 1st, 2024

The Portland Gear Hub invites community members, businesses, and outdoor enthusiasts to contribute to this important initiative. Donations of any size are welcomed and appreciated, as every contribution brings us one step closer to securing a permanent home.
