Oregon Wildfire Relief
Donate NowDevastating Wildfires
Oregon’s 2024 wildfire season came early and aggressively. Already this year, more acres have burned than any other year on record. OBRC has been working with the boots-on-the-ground wildland firefighting camps across the state to facilitate container redemptions to support their efforts. On one hand, we are in awe of the tireless efforts of these brave first responders who are risking their lives to protect the lives and property of their fellow Oregonians. On the other, we are deeply saddened by the devastation to our beautiful state caused by the all too common wildfires this year and previously.
OBRC invites our BottleDrop community to join us in supporting recovery and relief efforts.
