Portland Timbers

2025 Stand Together Week July 7-12

The Portland Timbers are teaming up with local partners for the 14th annual Stand Together Week, which takes place between July 7-12, 2025. The comprehensive, week-long community initiative supports nonprofit projects and creates volunteer opportunities across the city.

Each year, the City of Portland officially proclaims the week as the Portland Timbers Stand Together Week. During the annual event, fans are invited to volunteer with Timber Joey, Timbers, Timbers2, Academy players and club staff at the various local projects.

With the help of partners adidas, Coca-Cola, Intel, KeyBank, NW Natural, Providence, Safeway, Tillamook, and Toyota, 39 volunteer projects benefiting organizations focused on youth, families, the environment, and wellness are offered across the Portland metro area.

Since 2012, Stand Together Week has mobilized 8,386 volunteers to provide the Portland metro area with 26,370 hours of service at more than 375 events benefiting youth, families, and the environment. Nonprofits served include Harper’s Playground The Children’s Book Bank, Friends of Trees, Meals on Wheels, Adelante Mujeres, and Project Lemonade, among many others.
