Water for homeless in Portland during heat wave

Heat Relief: Water and Cooling Centers

Blanchet House volunteers offer cold drinks, water bottles, water misters, and care kits to help people find relief from the heat. People who come to our door can receive water refills for themselves and their pets.

2020 Impact on Homelessness in Portland

2020 was a year of incredible need and generosity. Blanchet House served more than 500,000 meals which is a 60% increase from 2019. Thank you for supporting our work to ease suffering.

Their Legacy: A Living Monument to Charity

Every day someone in need of help comes to Blanchet House and leaves with renewed hope thanks to the generosity of our founders and their families.

Homelessness nearly killed Chad. After three months on the street in Old Town, a brutal fight over a stolen tent landed him in the hospital with staples in his head. With nowhere safe to recuperate, he needed help.
