PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Timbers will team up with local partners for the 14th annual Stand Together Week, which will take place between July 7-12. 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.
