For over 70 years, UP and Blanchet House of Hospitality have been intertwined. UP students were instrumental in the foundation of the Blanchet House—establishing the funding and creating a legacy of UP volunteers to ensure the continuity of their vision to make a difference in the lives of the alien, the stranger, and the dispossessed in the city of Portland (Lev. 19.13-34). That vision and mission continue to be supported by members of the UP community today. In our post on PortLog, we trace the history of Blanchet House and share its story through articles and photographs.
