50 for 50

As we commemorate half a century of serving our city, we are launching a “50 for 50” campaign. 

Each month, every person who donates $50 or more will be entered into a raffle to win a prize from a local community partner!

Staff Spotlight: Clair

At the heart of the Poverello Center is our Directors’ Team – a dedicated group of people who bring knowledge and experience to our mission. After eight years at the Poverello Center, our Director of Shelter Services Clair Bopp embodies the values of dignity, respect, and enthusiasm for working with people.

Poverello program staff, Black Knight Security, and a representative from the Missoula Houseless Programs Department will be in attendance to discuss the shelter and address questions and concerns from our neighbors. Join us for the Johnson Street Emergency Shelter Meeting – hosted the first Tuesday of the month!
