Blanchet House & Farm is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in downtown Portland, Oregon, that provides social services to people experiencing hunger and homelessness. The group operates a public cafe offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week and is widely recognized as the area’s largest provider of meals to those in need. It runs two transitional shelter programs for men facing addictions, unemployment, mental health challenges, or family issues, with residents performing volunteer work in exchange for room, board, and case management. Downtown Portland hosts Blanchet House’s program, while Blanchet Farm sits on a 62-acre site in Carlton, Oregon, where participants maintain the farm and undertake woodworking. It operates within the civic and social organizations sector, delivering direct aid and shelter services to vulnerable populations. In December 2025, the organization announced the departure of its executive director.
