Our 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.
DROP-OFF HOURS: Mon-Sat, 8-10:30 a.m. or 1:30-4 p.m.
Due to limited storage space, we can ONLY accept the following MEN’S adult-sized items.
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. You can also call us at 503-241-4340 or email info@blanchethouse.org.
Not in the Portland metro area? You can support our guests by purchasing items from our Amazon wish list. They will be shipped directly to Blanchet House. If you would like to collect or donate clothing for people in your town call your local shelters, religious centers, or charity kitchens.

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.
