Our mostly adult guests experiencing homelessness are in need of new and gently used clean clothes. We invite you to donate adult-sized seasonally appropriate clothing. We give out clothing and sleeping essentials during meal services on an as-needed basis.
Because we have VERY limited storage space we can only take the most requested items listed below. Thank you.
Due to limited storage space, we can ONLY accept the following adult-sized items.
Buy new items listed on our Amazon wish list. The items will be shipped directly to Blanchet House at 310 NW Glisan, Portland, OR, 97209. If you use Amazon Smile a portion of the sale will be donated to Blanchet House.
Clean clothing is given out on a first-come, first-serve basis during three daily meal services. Stock changes daily based on donations. Please ask a staff member for needed clothing during services.
We often need large quantities of new and gently used clothing. Email or call us for ideas on what to collect and let us know when you plan to drop it off.
It’s best to ask your donors to give specific items like:
We accept adult-sized handmade warm weather items to give out to our meal guests on cold days. Drop off information below.
Clothing can be dropped off Mon-Sat, at 310 NW Glisan St. from 8 – 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 – 4 p.m. Please avoid dropping off during meal services. Pull up to our entrance, knock on the door to get our attention, and a staff member will retrieve your donation from the car. If you’d like a donation receipt, we can provide one.

Blanchet House is partnering with Portland-based company Pioneer Wiping Cloth to recycle clothes into cleaning cloths.
As an organization offering to clothe people experiencing homelessness, Blanchet House accepts clothing from generous donors. Clothes that are torn, dirty, or inappropriate for use must be disposed of somehow. Blanchet House is unable to launder or mend clothes. Furthermore, storage is limited so we must keep seasonally appropriate clothes on hand and remove out-of-season clothing. For example, shorts, tank tops, flip flops, or swimsuits will not help our houseless guests from winter weather.
