It’s that time of year again—September marks Welcoming Week, a nationwide celebration where communities across the United States come together to honor refugees, immigrants, and neighbors of all backgrounds.

Like last year, Soft Landing Missoula is excited to double down on this spirit by making September “The Month of Welcome”, with a full calendar of events designed to build connections, celebrate diversity, and reaffirm Missoula as a warm and inclusive place for all.

This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as Soft Landing Missoula marks its 10-year anniversary. Back in 2016, our community proudly opened its heart and arms to welcome the very first refugee families to their new home. A decade later, 2026 stands as a monumental milestone of resilience, growth, and shared joy in the face of unprecedented challenges. All month long, we’re honoring ten years of partnership, story-sharing, and belonging!

Below you’ll find a list of all the Month of Welcome events with links to each for more information and details on how to participate. Whether you come to one event or all of them, your presence and support strengthen our shared commitment to hospitality and inclusion, just as it has for the last ten years!

Let’s make Missoula shine as a true city of welcome. We invite all Missoulians and friends to come together to honor our journey, build strong bonds, and create a community grounded in openness and care.

We can’t wait to see you there!
