Oregon’s historic wildfires continue to test communities already spread thin by a year of hardships. Across Portland, neighborhood businesses made the decision to protect their employees by remaining closed during periods of unhealthy air quality. But rather than shelter at home, many businesses felt the need to do what they could to support the Oregonians most affected by the blazes. Over the past week, neighborhood businesses and their customers have collected countless donations for the victims of this terrible tragedy. You can help wildfire victims by supporting these generous businesses:

Feed the Mass is serving thousands of meals each day to fire evacuees. They are currently accepting donations of produce, PPE and to-go containers.
