Uniting Communities, Changing Lives

With the help of our amazing volunteers, Cascade Relief Team is able to bring together communities. Our dedicated team offers services such as supply donation pickup coordination and drop off to affected areas, livestock rescue and temporary relocation, and resource connections.

When Devastation Strikes

Thank You to Matt Brandt Photography for the Above Video Footage of the Salmon River Mobile Home Park in Rose Lodge, Oregon. The Footage Shows Destruction Following the Historic, Devastating Echo Mountain Fire in September 2020 near Lincoln City, Oregon.

The Salmon River Mobile Home Park Accounts for a Very Small Part of the 296 Structures that were a Complete Loss During the Echo Mountain Fire. This Number Does Not Account for Partial Losses and Smoke Damaged Homes That Displaced Over 1,000 Residents.

“You guys are our lifeline, we love you.”

—Norma Jean, Evacuation Relief Site Coordinator for Salmon River Grange in Rose Lodge, Oregon

Our Mission

Cascade Relief Team is a crisis-driven organization that is dedicated to empowering communities to come together in the midst of devastation. Our team focuses on providing essential items and resources to Survivors of natural disasters, and helping them to rebuild their lives while surrounded by a loving community.

How We Help

*Volunteer drivers Kent and Karen along with their daughter meet up with another volunteer and supporter, Adam, during a pickup.*

Collect

Disaster-stricken areas first contact us and tell us their needs. We then get to work spreading the word throughout our communities that there is a need. From there, the magic begins. Drivers are dispatched and travel hundreds, even thousands of miles to collect the requests from each site.

*A trailer stacked full of essential items heading down to Southern Oregon.*

Donate

Once we’ve picked up donations, our teams are dispatched to areas in need. Our volunteer drivers are on the road for 20+ hours a week, making sure everything gets where it needs to go.

Connect

Residents of affected areas are then connected with local resources for items as well as additional organizations and agencies that will help them with their “next steps” for the rebuilding process; whatever that may look like.

A load of hay is picked up at an Oregon staging area by Mike . This is a load of supplies delivered to the Okanogan County Fairgrounds in Eastern Washington state, where historic wildfires in 2020 have left over 8,000 cattle (and ranchers) with no resources. This particular week alone, our volunteer drivers clocked over 100 hours of drive time with loads of hay to assist Eastern Washington and their traumatic loss of resources.
