SUMMARY:Club Meeting: How Blanchet House Serves the Homeless
DESCRIPTION:Scott Kerman is the executive director of Blanchet House of Hospitality\, a 70-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to providing aid\, support\, and community to people in need. He will discuss how Blanchet\nHouse has experienced a significant increase in the demand for its daily hot meals and clean\nclothing services due to the economic strain caused by the pandemic. In 2020\, Blanchet House\nvolunteers served more than 1\,500 plates of food a day to people experiencing homelessness\nor food insecurity. \nScott is shepherding the historic organization through great change by innovating to meet the\nneed for its services during unpredictable times. Blanchet House launched a sack lunch\nprogram to offer portable meals\, a care kit program to offer hygiene items\, and a reusable water\nbottle program to offer water relief during the summer’s heatwaves. These initiatives born out of\nthe COVID crisis are fueled by the generosity of donors at home.\nMore than meals\, Blanchet House's unique transitional housing programs located in downtown\nPortland and a farm in Yamhill County are lifting people out of addiction and homelessness. \nThe Rotary Club of Wilsonville meets weekly Thursdays at noon to carry out its purpose of providing service and fellowship to members and the Wilsonville community. The club is holding hybrid “Virtual In Person” (VIP) meetings. Attend in person (masks required except when eating)\, or attend virtually over Zoom at http://www.tinyurl.com/Rotary97070. Guests are welcome. NOTE NEW MEETING LOCATION THIS WEEK. For more information\, email president@wilsonvillerotary.com. \nScott received a bachelor of science degree in political science from Santa Clara University\, a master of arts degree in English from Portland State University\, and a doctor of jurisprudence from the University of Virginia School of Law. Learn more at BlanchetHouse.org. \n\n\n	Related
