The Exchange Club of Portland….

​

....Is a place to create new and lasting friendships with men and women who care about their community and a feeling of personal satisfaction and accomplishment through service to others.

​

The array of Exchange-sponsored programs and projects has made an impact on enhancing the live of the people of Portland and surrounding communities.

​

The National Exchange Club was organized as a non-profit educational organization in 1917.  The name “Exchange” was selected because the group wanted to exchange ideas and information with like-minded individuals about how to better serve their communities.
