Missoula Works: Empowering Through Employment
At Missoula Works, we operate as an Employment Social Enterprise—a business dedicated to fostering positive social and environmental change by providing employment opportunities for marginalized individuals. Our mission extends beyond mere profit, as we channel the generated income toward sustaining our impactful goals. We specialize in assisting those facing barriers to traditional workforce inclusion, making it our commitment to secure employment for them. When conventional opportunities are scarce, we take the initiative to create tailor-made jobs. Our latest endeavor involves introducing a textile training operation as a novel avenue for employment.
Behind the Label
With every bag you acquire, you're investing in a narrative. It's a tale woven from salvaged materials rescued from landfills, transformed into enduring sustainable goods. It narrates the journey of retired smokejumpers crafting and instructing others in bag creation. Yet, at its core, it's a story of the individuals behind the humming sewing machines—individuals who discovered an opportunity to belong to a community of misfits united in constructing something meaningful. Our label encapsulates this narrative, making it the story you embrace with each purchase.
