On a Mission to Alleviate Suffering and Give Hope for a Better Life
Heat Relief and Plans For Reopening Indoor Dining
Blanchet House is excited to soon be able to welcome people indoors to enjoy meals again. Reopening is good news for our community and especially for the local businesses and restaurants that donate food and supplies to relief efforts. Blanchet House is hoping to be ready to reopen its doors to indoor dining this fall.
Heat Relief: Water and Cooling Centers
Blanchet House volunteers give out cold drinks, water, reusable water bottles, and water misters to help people find relief from the heat and stay hydrated. Anyone who comes to Blanchet House’s doors can receive water refills for themselves and their pets Monday – Saturday during meal services.
Our Programs Offer a Second Chance

Beekeeping helps formerly homeless individuals heal from trauma, build sobriety, and gain self-confidence.
Finding Permanent Housing Takes Time
Help to end homelessness. A stable and safe place to live while you apply for jobs, save money, and receive medical care is critical to securing long-term housing.
More Than A Meal
A hot meal served with compassion can be the first step on the path to housing. Volunteer to serve meals to people experiencing homelessness in Portland.
