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.

Alcohol Led to Homelessness, a Hot Meal Led Him to a Home

Homelessness nearly killed Chad. After three months on the street, 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.
