Blanchet House of Hospitality

• Providing meals and clothing to those experiencing homelessness.
• Offering resources and support for job training and life skills development.

For my 23rd birthday, I will be taking on a 24 hour run to raise money for the Blanchet House of Hospitality in the fight against COVID-19. Throughout the pandemic, my Dad and I have had the great gift of serving breakfast and volunteering with the guests of this incredible organization. Offering food, shelter, and aid to the homeless population of Portland, Oregon, The Blanchet House is a force for good... regularly serving over 800 meals a day. 

Despite the pandemic, Blanchet has forged ahead, creating an efficient system and compassionate way of providing 3 meals a day, 300+ days a year. You will not find a more dedicated, loving, and committed staff. 

Ever since my first experience volunteering with Blanchet House through Jesuit High School in 2013, it's been an amazing gift to encounter this community and contribute in a very small way to the remarkable impact they're having. Blanchet isn't just serving meals. They're restoring dignity. You can read more about Blanchet House here: https://blanchethouse.org/

Join me on my mission to raise $2,300 for my 23rd Birthday to support Blanchet House. Due to inclement weather and health regards, I will be running a week early on January 23rd. The pandemic might have slowed things down, but it will never stop us. We cannot forget about those without a home. All the money I raise will go directly to The Blanchet House. I'd be honored if you considered donating in a lump sum via this GoFundMe or on a per-mile basis by filling out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/kjkWcWJfXnsC1VXA6
