December Events & Beyond

NOW: Missoula Wreaths Across America & CAP

Vanessa, “Steve and I are working with the local Civil Air Patrol to ensure there are wreaths on all the graves in the Western Montana Veteran's Cemetery. Last year there were not wreaths for every grave and we do not want to see that happen again. Our Montana Veterans deserve better. We will need to raise about $14,000 for our cemetery. Every dollar will help. The last day to raise funds for our cemetery is 30 November”

There are 2 pages where you can donate a wreath, your time, and your help (Vanessa’s also willing to drive TO YOU if you’re unable to donate online!) ~ sponsor a wreath, volunteer, or invite friends to help!

12/5 International Volunteer Day & Hope Rescue Mission's Community Meal Day

Winter has arrived. The winds are blowing and the snow has started to blanket the ground. As you sit in your heated home and around your kitchen table, preparing to enjoy a meal with your family, there are many of our neighbors who are without warm, dry shelter or a warm meal to eat. For most of us, the holidays are a wonderful time of year. Yet, for many the stark and cold reality is that they don't know where their next meal is coming from or how to get out of the cold each night. We will be delivering hot boxed meals to those unsheltered in our community. To ensure those meals get delivered, we are in need of several items to make the meals complete. If you can donate cash or items, please reach out to April at 549-HOPE
