One of the best parts about staying at our hostel? You don’t have to go far to get a great meal ☕️🥐

Our The Hostel Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, whether you’re looking for a hearty meal before exploring Portland or just stopping in for a coffee and pastry.

And because our cafe is part of the local community, you don’t have to be staying at the hostel to enjoy it! Locals and travelers are always welcome ❤️

This month, we want your cans! ♻️

Throughout August, we’re collecting aluminum cans at our hostel and The Hostel Cafe to support Blanchet House. We’ll redeem the cans through BottleDrop, and the 10¢ refund from each can goes directly to Blanchet House & Farm , helping provide meals and support to people in our local community, including those experiencing homelessness 🍝

We’ve already collected almost 400 cans! 🙌 Keep them coming! Drop off your aluminum cans (no glass, please) in the designated bins in the Commons Room or Elliston Kitchen through the end of the month.

Not sure where to put them? Ask one of our team members. Thanks for helping us give back! 💚
