New West Missoula is proud to host the “Faces of the Pov” exhibit in our downtown office in April. We hope you can join us for an opening reception from 5-8 p.m. this First Friday, April 3.
“Faces of the Pov” features portraits of Poverello Center residents and clients by local photographer Cathrine L. Walters and local painter Kimberly Anderson.
From the exhibit’s announcement:
Meet four-year-old Layne, who came to live at the Joseph Residence at Maclay Commons with his mom and little brother after being evicted from their home--unable to make ends meet.
Meet Pat, who found refuge at the Poverello Center when her car burst into flames and she lost everything she owned--able only to recover a warped and charred driver’s license from the fire.
Meet Steve, who came to the Poverello Center in search of peace of mind after losing someone dear to him to a horrendous tragedy. There is a story to every face at the Pov. We invite you to witness the face of homelessness in Missoula.
365 days a year, the Poverello Center serves Missoula’s neediest families and individuals by offering them food, shelter, help, and hope. The halls of the Poverello Center are filled with amazing of stories of struggle, catastrophe, recovery, and personal triumph. We are thrilled to offer Missoula the chance to meet some of our clients and share in their stories of adversity and their dreams for the future. Please join us for an evening of art, music, food, drink, and friends.
