The Montana Volunteers are a group of supporters of the Portland Thorns and Portland Timbers from across Montana. While the group hosts watch parties for the Timbers and Thorns around the state, founder Kris Goss detailed for Helena Rotary the various community support projects that the Montana Volunteers have organized in the three years since the group's founding. These soccer fans:- Supported Garfield County Fire Foundation after the summer fires;
- Raised funds for children's books for Montana's reservation libraries;
- Raffled special edition caps to benefit the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation's firewood donation program, helping families in need of heating assistance;
- Donated the proceeds of soccer scarf sales to the Montana Talking Books Library;
...in addition to other community support projects. The Montana Volunteers are presently conducting their year end supply drive in support of Helena's Friendship Center.
