Friendly House kindly let our organization volunteer with them while on a company retreat.The staff was kind, organized, and thorough. Our group of 14 was able to help out with decorating for their Halloween party. We were impressed with all that Friendly House is able to accomplish. We were honored to contribute in even a small way to the good work Friendly House is doing and really appreciated hearing about the Volunteer Coordinator's experiences with Friendly House.Keep it up!

Many of the employees of the Friendly House are heavy smokers, and they always cross the road and come to our side to smoke and talk loud near our doors, and it happens several times a day.This school should have a smoking room inside, so the employees do not bother neighbors.

They are always so friendly and helpful when we show up for our meetings and it feels like anybody in the community is welcome.

The point of the place is great. Unfortunately the staff member, Ljeoma O. is rude and demeaning. Unhelpful and disappointing to see.

We took an ASL class here. The staff are very friendly. The facility is a much needed resource in the neighborhood.

I first discovered what Friendly House had to offer a few weeks ago. I appreciated the resources that they had to offer,such as a gym, bathrooms, and showers that one could use as well as internet service and free food to collect whenever needed. I was able to take advantage of free internet service that I was allowed, as well as the use of their phone to look for work since mine was not working; and I was unable to use because the service had been shut off due to inability to pay the bill. This privilege was granted to me at least 7 times. However, when I went in the 8th time, the bald headed gentleman at the desk as me if he can help me. I replied by saying "no". "I'll just go ahead and sign in". He then replied by telling me that I need a membership. How is it that this time, I'm not allowed to use the facilities without paying for a membership, when the previous 7 times, I was granted use of the facilities without having to pay?? And he was one of the staff that granted me free use of the computer and phone to look for work! Perhaps the Friendly House isn't so Friendly.

Friendly, local gym doing good in the Portland community. Gymnasium is older but functional. I wish it was swept and cleaned more regularly though as the court is slippery. Bathrooms are typically clean. Parking is available on the street. Staff is friendly and chill. Patrons are welcoming.

Though whoever works the front desk is not appropriately responsive, the school and preschool are great.

This Community House has literally been a lifesaver for me, and I imagine many others. Yet I take it more for granted than my family because it doesn't move away.

They are so awesome, they spent a lot more time helping my 93 year old mother. They were so patient with us.

Friendly House is what the Y.M.C.A. should be. You have every type of program here from children's care (mornings, afterschool, preschool etc) to senior citizens out reach and more. Meals on wheels helps in the kitchen, they have work out rooms, gyms, showers, all sorts. They even have support for the houseless. Everyone that works here has a genuine smile and are legitimately happy to see you. 89 years is a long time to be around so they must be doing something right.
