Severe Weather Donations and Volunteers

Shelters need volunteers; nonprofits are seeking cold-weather gear. Find out how you can help

Outreach providers need gear they can pass out now and have in reserve to distribute during cold weather. Having the right gear staged in the right places before a crisis helps providers better focus on direct services and life-saving efforts in the moment. Please visit www.211info.org for the most up-to-date information on what gear is needed where and instructions for dropping them off.

Volunteer at a County emergency shelter

During dangerous weather emergencies, Multnomah County opens life-saving Disaster Resource Centers (DRCs) across our community that offer people shelter, safety, resources and connection — especially those who are at greatest risk of harm. We often welcome the support of community members like you when the need arises. Find upcoming training dates and more information about volunteering here.
