Update on Our Women’s Shelter: Bathrooms are under construction, the exterior is painted, and local Girl Scouts brightened the fence with yarn hearts. We’re aiming for a late January 2026 opening and look forward to welcoming women into this much-needed refuge.

Waiting outside in line for a free meal isn’t “easy.” People don’t go to a food bank because it’s easier than working. Instead of criticizing those seeking help, let’s lift them up. We don’t know what someone is struggling with, so why assume the worst about them? Thank you for your kindness.

Well, we're back to normal, if normal means hundreds of people needing our hot meals every day. The good news is that we’re able to offer second helpings again—a lifeline for those who rely on one meal a day or take food to go. Please help us by donating to our fundraiser at link in comments.

We had it all tonight at BH! Pizza slices, sack lunches to take with you, and Halloween candy to boot! Many guests came in a good mood, and those who entered hungry or sad left full of food and perhaps smiling after a fun interaction near the exit treats. Thanks to everyone for your support.

Tonight we were able to offer seconds! SNAP benefits were released by the governor, and the difference was immediate. But this relief won’t last. Next year, access to SNAP will be harder, and more people will turn to Blanchet House for food. Thank you for your support now and in the months ahead.
