Poverello Center

Located at 1110 W Broadway St in Missoula, the Poverello Center is a nonprofit organization founded in 1974 to support people experiencing hunger, poverty, and houselessness. Its work is grounded in providing food, shelter, practical assistance, and compassionate support to community members in crisis.

The center offers short-term emergency shelter, food assistance, donated-food redistribution, toiletries, showers, laundry access, and connections to other community resources. Its broader services include homeless outreach, access to the Missoula Coordinated Entry System, housing-focused programs for veterans, and medical respite for people recovering from a medical crisis who need a safe place to recuperate.

Through direct services, education, and advocacy, the Poverello Center works to improve health, security, and stability while helping people move toward independence and permanent housing.
