Portland Rescue Mission (Burnside Shelter)

Last updated Jun 2026

About

Portland Rescue Mission runs the Burnside Shelter at 111 W Burnside St, offering daily meals (breakfast at 7am, dinner at 6pm), restrooms, hygiene supplies, socks, mail service, water, crisis care, and information about houseless services, most of it around the clock. It also provides overnight shelter for up to 75 men and longer-term recovery and transitional housing programs. It is a faith-based Christian mission, so some people may want to weigh that before using its services. Most services are for adults 18 and older; meals are open to families. 503-647-7466.
