Currently the Oregon State Fair and Exposition Center is serving as an evacuation center for those escaping area fires.

We are also accepting and housing animals while space is available. Please enter through Lana Avenue gates off of Silverton Road and proceed to the Livestock area.

If you need assistance with food, hygiene products, clothes, diapers, etc., please visit 1705 Silverton Rd. NE. There is a warehouse set up for you to “shop.” United Way will be open from 10:00am - 5:00pm.

Red Cross is here at 2330 17th St. NE Salem, OR 97305 to help serve meals and assist with your current shelter needs. A resource center has also been set up to apply for benefits and documents you may have lost.
