Portland USO Center

USO Northwest’s Portland Center supports local and traveling service members and their families at the Portland International Airport with flight information, travel assistance, snacks and local area military discounts. With the help of over 100 volunteers, our Portland Center serves more than 1,400 service members and their families each month through center and outreach programs and services. Our outreach programs includes serving mobile events at military installations across Oregon and southern Washington.

TEMPORARY LOCATION - NEW CENTER UNDER CONSTRUCTION: We are temporarily located on the Baggage Claim Level near Carousel #2 and next to the Light Rail exit. An expansion project to our center is currently underway to better serve our military service members and their families traveling through the Portland International Airport. The expansion project will double the size of the USO center, improving service delivery to traveling service members and their families. The project will add a children’s playroom, expanded lounge, and secured luggage storage. The goal of this program is to lessen the stresses of separation for service members and their children.

Who Can Use the USO?

Occasionally, veterans or military retirees contact us to tell us they couldn’t get into a USO airport center because they are not active-duty military. As much as we’d like to open our doors to all those who have honorably served, we have limited space and financial resources.
Please reference the USO Worldwide Admissions Policy
