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
Throughout the winter and spring, Missoula Villages invites to the public to learn more at a series of fun, free events. Meet founding volunteers, MAS staff, and community partners to ask, come together with neighbors, and get a feel for Village activities!
Missoula Villages Tai Chi & Tea
Join us downtown at Sacred Ally for an all-levels Tai Chi class led by Tess Sneeringer of Missoula Parks & Rec., followed by a gathering with Missoula Village founders, partners, and MAS staff for tea and informal conversation. We can explain how membership works, get you signed up if you're ready to jump in, and brainstorm ideas for how the Village will grow and evolve!
In addition to swapping practical help and volunteer opportunities, the Missoula Villages network will offer many opportunities for older neighbors to get out and get together, including classes and outings where you can share a favorite activity with others or try something new.
Sacred Ally has generously donated use of their peaceful, light-filled space. Can't make Tai Chi at 11? Stop by for tea at noon. Space is limited. Call Corey Bressler to sign up: (406) 728-7682
