By owning and operating a beautiful, historic community center that hosts the largest and most diverse offering of mutual-aid support meetings and recovery services in Oregon, the Alano Club of Portland is able to bring healing, hope and solutions to more than 10,000 visitors each month. There’s no other recovery support center of its kind in the area, where recovering individuals can go—free of charge—to receive the level of life-long support they need in their journey to addiction recovery. Ours is a safe, loving and inviting home for more than 100 weekly recovery support meetings, recovery seminars and workshops, yoga and meditation classes, sobriety-based social events, information and referral services for treatment resources, and holiday celebrations for the recovery community. Who We Help
We serve thousands of recovering men, women and families across 20 distinct mutual aid programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon family groups, Gamblers Anonymous, Food Addicts Anonymous, Wellbriety, Refuge Recovery and nearly everything in between!

🏳️‍🌈 Coming off a powerful weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 Alano is so grateful to have taken part in Portland's Pride Parade & Festival this weekend!

We marched in tribute to all those who identify as LGBTQ+, especially those struggling with substance use disorder. True community celebrates individuality and inclusivity, & our LGBTQ+ friends & neighbors remind us of this every day.

Though may be over, we continue the fight for equal rights. We believe in a future with freedom & dignity for all.

From all of us at the Alano Club: THANK YOU for your generous support of the Brent Canode Legacy Fund. This campaign has not only been a tribute to Brent's life, and his work as the Club's Executive Director for two decades, but an inspiring reminder of what we can accomplish together.

Together, we surpassed our goal of $100,000...!

Like many community-based organizations, we are at a critical moment as we try to ensure that every single person who needs our services can access them without barriers, without any cost. Because of you, we have vital new resources to ensure our innovative recovery services remain FREE to anyone who seeks our help. We are so grateful for your support of our programs and the community we serve.

Thank you for choosing to remember Brent's life and work in such a meaningful way. We are so proud to be in community with each and every one of you!!

We are heartbroken. The loss of our Executive Director, Brent Canode has left us devastated beyond words. Brent was a tireless, fearless advocate for the recovery community; an innovative and brilliant person whose work touched thousands of lives — saved thousands of lives — not just here in Portland but everywhere he went.

We’re so grateful for the support of our community as we grieve the immeasurable loss of this irreplaceable, incredible man, who was so dear to so many.

When we have further details about when and how Brent’s life and legacy will be celebrated at the Club, we’ll share them. For right now, we’re all just hurting.

The Alano Club, as it is, would not exist without Brent Canode and every day forward, our work will be a testament to his memory.
