The Arc Western Montana

We had an incredible opportunity this past week to advocate for the people we serve alongside the Rural Institute 🤝

The Arc Western Montana was proud to meet with our federal representatives, Senator Tim Sheehy and Representative Troy Downing offices, to talk about the critical importance of continued funding for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS).

These supports make it possible for individuals with disabilities and veterans to live, work, and thrive in their communities—and to ensure our direct support professionals are valued and supported in the essential work they do every day.

We’re grateful for the time, conversation, and commitment to understanding the real impact HCBS funding has across Montana. The work continues, and we’re proud to be part of the voice advocating for stronger, more sustainable supports.

Huge thank you to Griz Stomp for sharing your incredible skills, energy, and patience while teaching us the ropes.

Nothing better than learning something new together and having fun while doing it ❤️

Some of our Foss folks took a little trip into the community today. A few snacks were picked up, a few good laughs were had, and it was nice to just get out for a bit. Simple moments like these mean a lot.
