January 26 Charitable Contribution Roundup

It’s only February and, with your help, this community has kicked off the year with a bang in support of some of our favorite Portland based non profits.

Over $10,000 in donations raised for:

• The Portland Alano Club x The Recovery Gym

• Neighborhood House

• ACLU

• And more…

Here is the full charitable contribution roundup for January 2026...

Recovery Gym x Sesame Collective - In January we launched a new N/A cocktail at each of our full service restaurants. We donated $1 from each drink sold throughout the month to our friends over at The Portland Alano Club in support of The Recovery Gym. We are pleased to announce that through the sales of these drinks in January we were able to raise $404.

ACLU Donation - In solidarity for the general strike conducted on Friday, Jan. 30th we elected to donate 15% of sales from each of our restaurants to support the ACLU. We believe in the urgent need to continue to protect our civil rights & immigrants rights and we need lawyers to help fight for these rights. We’re ecstatic to share that we raised a total of $7,716.75 to support the ACLU.

Love Burgers x Neighborhood House - If you hadn't heard, we’ve had an ongoing partnership with Neighborhood House for years now. Since the launch of the Love Burger way back in 2021 we’ve been donating a portion of proceeds to support the work that Neighborhood House does within the Portland community. In January alone we added another $175.92 to our contribution, bringing the total amount raised from Love Burgers to over $40,000!!!

Gift Card Donations - This year we've already given out over $2,000 worth of Sesame Collective gift cards to various non profit community organizations. Whether it is for a school raffle, a door prize, or a kind gesture - we love giving the gift of Sesame Collective to members of our community.
