Summary
The Boys and Girls Club of Oregon is closing its beloved North Portland Portsmouth Club next month after 20 years of service — a heartbreaking blow for families and kids who’ve relied on it for decades. Financial struggles, including a $2 million deficit last year and shrinking donations, forced this tough decision. With federal funding shifting and costs soaring, the club is pivoting: partnering with schools to cut rent by 80%, exploring shuttles to their Blazers Club in Northeast Portland, and collaborating with local orgs to keep kids engaged. A community Q&A is set for Monday to hear concerns and ideas. The future’s uncertain — but they’re fighting to keep the doors open, even if it means moving out of their own building.
