About the Event
Blanchet House’s annual brunch brings our extended family together to celebrate and support a mission that is needed now more than ever. This special event has grown to a gathering of more than 400 supporters and will take place online in 2021 giving us the ability to reach more people. The funds raised at the annual brunch are critical to Blanchet House being able to meet the need for our meal and shelter services. Get ready to be inspired and filled with hope for the coming year.

Fr. Kennard Award
Alaska Airlines Employees
Alaska Airlines employees will receive the Fr. Kennard Award. Their daily service during the first months of the pandemic was critical to Blanchet House being able to meet the need for meals.
“To be able to give back by helping people who are truly in need has been the most rewarding thing ever in my life,” Marshall said.
Service Award
Katy Fackler
Katy of Wells Fargo, a master beekeeper, volunteered to build a therapeutic beekeeping program that benefits the residents of Blanchet Farm.
Founders Award
Jesuit High School Community
Jesuit High School students, staff, and families came together in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to help meet the increased need for portable meals by holding sack lunch drives. More than 10,000 bagged meals prepared for Blanchet House’s meal guests were collected during the first drive. The Jesuit community continues to support Blanchet House’s mission by volunteering, collecting clothing, making care kits and sack lunches weekly.
