Missoula Villages
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Missoula Villages is a citizen-driven, grassroots network built to help neighbors care for neighbors. The Village network connects Missoulians to each other through a volunteer exchange, with additional services available through partnerships with the city and local organizations. "The Village" also promotes active, social living by coordinating recreational, educational, and cultural events. We hope Missoulians in every neighborhood will join the network to give back and get help, neighbor to neighbor.
Missoula Villages uses a separate website to manage membership, communicate about operations, and to schedule requests and volunteer availability. Please click the link below to learn more and sign up. You can also learn more at upcoming events. Scroll down to see what's coming up and join us!

Upcoming Events
