Note - Date & Time for 2025 TBD

Operation Healing will again team up with Heroes on the Water to feed the Carry the Load team as they pass through Portland on the West Coast Route of the 2025 National Relay.  We will help prepare and serve a warm meal to the team as they come through Portland. These folks appreciate a good meal as they trek to raise both money and awareness for fallen heroes, while generating support for non-profits.  Relay teams start from five different points around the country, covering 20,000 miles, to pay respects and honor our nation’s heroes. They walk, bike, and even tube along the route, regardless of weather.  Rallies are held at national cemeteries and other locations along the way, with marchers converging in Dallas TX for a 2-day final Memorial Day weekend event honoring the sacrifices of fallen service members and their families.
