Volunteer opportunities:

Volunteer with Blanchet House

Blanchet House provides a variety of vital services to individuals in the Portland community; most prominently, they run a café where they provide warm meals to anyone who needs them. They also provide warm clothing and other necessities, provide transitional housing and a recovery program, and connect individuals with the services they need. Members of our 107IST community frequently help out serving meals in the Blanchet House free cafe. Watch the newsletter or email us for news of the next volunteer date! We are running them semi-regularly and would love to have you join us.
