History
Blanchet's origins are firmly rooted in faith, hard work, integrity and ingenuity. In 1938 a group of students at the University of Portland organized a social and service club, later to be named after the first Catholic Archbishop of the Oregon Territory, Archbishop Frances Norbert Blanchet. The group held car washes, raffles, dances and various other fund raising  activities to raise money to help the poor. World War II brought a temporary halt to the club’s activism but after the war ended a new wave of students, armed with similar enthusiasm and principles, sought out other avenues to help the needy of the Portland community.

1950's
Dorothy Day 1916.jpg On February 11, 1952 Blanchet offered its first hot meal to Portland's hungry — a simple offering of beans, bread, butter and coffee.  Inspired by Dorothy Day’s Catholic Worker Movement in New York City, the name was officially changed to the Blanchet House of Hospitality.
