In Polson, Montana, Mission Mountain Empowerment is turning lives around by teaching adults with disabilities real-world job skills—like crafting and selling fire starters from recycled materials. Their mission? Help everyone find meaningful work where they feel valued, while also building social and residential support. Shawn Morgan, now thriving full-time at a local store, credits the nonprofit for his transformation. Director Kristen Wurster beams at the daily wins—when clients discover joy in their work and turn it into a lifelong passion. Up next: more fire starters and a brand-new community walking path.
