One of our friends is on a team of Blanchet House volunteers and supporters coming together to run the Portland Marathon in support of their services to people challenged with homelessness, poverty, addiction, and hunger. This team is fundraising for Blanchet House, a downtown Portland nonprofit that feeds people and provides housing and help for addictions. The link to the fundraising page is in the weekly update email. The link to Blanchet House's website is: https://blanchethouse.org
