MISSOULA VILLAGES – Neighbors Helping Neighbors Age In Place

Our Mission
Enhance Missoula’s vibrant neighborhoods by promoting aging in place with dignity, independence, and engagement through a trusted network of services, social connections, and community-driven resource exchange.

What Is Missoula Villages?
Missoula Villages is a community-based program that helps older adults stay in their homes and remain connected to their neighborhoods. Volunteers of all ages share their time and talents to support one another—creating a network of care, friendship, and mutual respect. Whether it’s helping with errands, sharing a meal, or simply spending time together, Missoula Villages is about building relationships and strengthening community ties.

Launching January 2026
The first Missoula Village will include all areas served by Missoula Aging Services within the City and County of Missoula. As more neighbors join, we’ll form local Villages aligned with Missoula Neighborhood Council boundaries.

Who Can Join?
– Older adults who want to stay independent and connected
– Family members looking for support for aging loved ones
– Volunteers of all ages who want to make a difference

Our Guiding Principle
Sharing abilities through intergenerational connections.
We believe everyone has something valuable to offer. By connecting generations, we create stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.

Not Ready to Join Yet – Consider Volunteering

Many of our volunteers are over 60.  Starting as a volunteer is a wonderful way to learn about Missoula Villages, get involved and make new friends.  Then, when you think that increasing your social circle and having access to the services and volunteers will be useful – you can join then.
