Donate to Our Give!Guide Campaign!
Oregon is second in the nation in substance use and misuse among adults and adolescents.
Oregon is dead last in the nation in availability of treatment and services for people facing addiction.
Between July, 2024 and June, 2026 the Alano Club lost 30% of its operational income due to reductions in funding at the municipal, state and federal levels. The need in Oregon for organizations like the Alano Club has never been greater, nor has the need for support from donors to help us continue providing these life-saving resources. We need your support this giving season to help us ensure we can continue to bring free, accessible recovery services to anyone who needs them, without staffing or service reductions. As always, we’re offering some incredible donor incentives, along with Give!Guide’s own Big Give Days, so pick a day, or days, and support recovery in Oregon!
Community Reading Series
In partnership with Tin House, The Alano Club Community Reading Series is a monthly open-mic for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid genres, generously hosted by Portland’s premier queer-owned and operated bookstore, Bishop & Wilde. This structured yet unscripted gathering is an occasion to share works in-progress and experience the rich overlap of Portland’s literary and recovery communities. While readers are not required to self-identify as being in recovery, we will maintain a sober-friendly environment for all sessions. We encourage readers of all experience levels to sign up for a guaranteed reading slot of 10 minutes or less, though two slots per session are reserved for first-time readers!
