If you or someone in your house plays soccer, odds are you have more than a few spare soccer balls rolling around. If you've been telling yourself that someday you will do something useful with them, now is your chance.

The Portland Chapter of the National Charity League is holding a donation drive during the Sporting Kansas City match this Saturday, April 21st. They will be collecting new or gently used sports balls, as well as new sports socks, at JELD-WEN field before and during the match on Saturday. The items collected will go to Randall Children’s Hospital, Special Olympics, Streetlight Shelter, Rose Haven, and Ronald McDonald House.

The collection drive will be at both major corners for field entry on SW Morrison St. at SW 18th and SW 20th., from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
