Since then, the Shower Project has grown to provide toiletry items, laundry cards, clean clothes, food, COVID vaccines and other support in addition to showers.
Â
Friday's game will tip off at 5 p.m., with doors open to the public at 4 p.m. Tickets for Friday's game can be purchased via the
Portland State University Box Office. Bins for donated items will be just inside the main entrance to Viking Pavilion.
