Blanchet House & Farm

Blanchet (pronounced Blan-shay) House is a nonprofit social services organization located in downtown Portland. We offer many services to those in need but are best known for being the largest meal provider to people experiencing hunger and homelessness. We offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week in our public cafe. We also operate two transitional shelter programs for men struggling with addictions, unemployment, mental health and/or family issues. In exchange for room, board and case management the men do volunteer work to aid the mission. The guests living in the Blanchet House program in downtown Portland work in the Founders Cafe preparing and serving food for the public. The men living in the Blanchet Farm program in Carlton, Oregon maintain the 62-acre farm and learn woodworking.
