What is good, only this: to act justly, to love
tenderly, to walk humbly...
The Poverello Center, Inc. has operated Montana’s largest emergency homeless shelter and soup kitchen for over thirty-five years. The “Pov” sleeps seventy-five homeless residents a night and serves 100,000 hot meals, 365 days a year.
Clients are homeless, working-poor, disabled, mentally ill, elderly, veterans, families and folks struggling with substance abuse recovery. The Poverello Center also operates transitional housing facilities for homeless families (The Joseph Residence) and for homeless veterans (The Valor House).
Services include mental health referrals, a medical clinic, a food pantry, a clothing room, hot showers, agency and job referrals, a laundry room, and many other services that enable our clients to move into safe, affordable housing and begin a life of integrity back in the work-force. The Pov receives significant support from the community at-large (to give you an idea, 19,000 people volunteered at the Poverello Center in 2006!)

Winners of 2nd Annual Poverello
Soup Can Trophy!
Congratulations Hellgate High School for winning the 2008 Soup Can Trophy! The Hellgate student council led the charge by organizing a matchmaker fundraiser, a school-wide coin drive, and the Senior class decided to throw in some money too. The combined efforts of Hellgate students raised $1000! Loyola Sacred Heart High School and Big Sky high came in 2nd and 3rd respectively. A total of $1216 was raised by Missoula highschoolers to help the less fortunate in our community! Thank you students!
