What’s The Scoop? traditionally donates 10% of its proceeds to a new organization every month, as well as 50% of proceeds from specially-themed flavors.

“We’re still wrapping our minds around the reactions,” owner Jodie Ostrovsky told Eater Portland, adding that it was the store’s second fundraiser for Planned Parenthood: “The first one went off without any reactions or comments.”
That said, Ostrovsky pointed out that she’s received a “wonderful outpouring of support” from the Portland community. “The fact that some people only focus on what is such an infinitesimal part of the service they provide is confusing to me,” she added.
