The last 4 trucks rumbled away from RCF East this morning at 7am!
Big THANKS to the crew from JH Kelly for donating the trucks AND driving them south today. All in all, we were able to fill:
- 3 – XL vans
- 2 – 16ft trailers
- 4 – 25ft moving trucks
Amazing.
Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and organized to make all this happen. We truly were overwhelmed by your support.
BUT…the fires are still burning and it will be a long road back for the communities and people devasted by the fires. If you can, please support the ongoing relief efforts. The folks from Travel Oregon have put together a page that has lots of options for how you can lend a hand:
Stay safe and thank you again. Hope to see everyone soon.

We’re in the final stretch! Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to sort, box, and prepare all the Fire Relief donations for shipment. The first few shipments left yesterday (destined for firefighters working to control the fires) and the big push to get everything loaded up and on the way starts TOMORROW.
We need volunteers to help load everything out and would love to have you join us for the final push. Here are the details:
Friday, September 18th
Rose City Futsal East, 5010 NE Oregon St, Portland, OR
The biggest push will happen between 10am-2pm, but…
Volunteer shifts are open from 10am-6pm
Sign-up to volunteer here on the Supply Drive Volunteer Sign-up sheet
Please bring/wear your mask
Work gloves are suggested
If you have a HAND TRUCK, please bring it!
We’ll be on the same schedule for Saturday, September 19th as well! Sign-up here to help for the final, final push.
YES, MORE BOXES!
We thought we had enough but, alas, we’re still a little short! If you have ’em, we’ll be accepting boxes tomorrow between 10am-6pm as well. Boxes can simply be dropped off at the front entrance of Rose City Futsal East. If it rains, we’ll put up a tent!
It has been so inspiring to see the futsal/soccer community turn out in a big way. Thank you again for all your help and support!

That’s a wrap! We cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for our community and futsal family. Your efforts with the Fire Relief Supply Drive FAR exceeded our expectations (we aren’t surprised but we are very impressed) and are thrilled that we will be able to spread your incredible donations to even more areas of need!
We saw so many old friends, fellow competitors, families, individuals just looking to help, many with tears in their eyes simply grateful to be of assistance. And although our friends, family, and community are all suffering such great loss, we have newfound hope in our hearts that we will pull through this!
We will be mostly offline in the coming days to coordinate the logistics of transporting the supplies. We promise to get each and every item directly to someone in need.
That said, we still need donations of moving boxes! Intact and pre-assembled, (please nothing ripped or broken) to save our volunteer team as much time as possible. We are also in need of clear moving tape and XL Ziploc bags to aid our organizational efforts.
If you can donate these supplies, we will be available to accept them between 10am-4pm, Tuesday-Friday this week at the main doors of RCF East. For the safety of our team and volunteers, please do not enter the building.
If we were unable to accept part of all of your donation, please know that we appreciate your efforts tremendously. We are beyond grateful for all you’ve done to make this drive such an incredible success.

Whoa! What a day. A HUGE Thank You to everyone who came out to donate and volunteer to the Fire Relief Supply Drive. This community is INCREDIBLE! We asked you to show up and man did you ever.
We’ll be back at it again tomorrow (Monday) from 9am to 1pm and will look forward to seeing folks who weren’t able to make it by today.
If you have time and would like to volunteer, we would love to have your help for the final push later this week when we pack up the donations for transport. To be notified about the day/time, please email info@rosecityfutsal.com with your contact info and we’ll be in touch.
