Purpose & History

Welcome to the Mission Mountain Enterprises, Inc. web site. MME is a private, non-profit corporation in Lake County, Montana, established in 1975 to provide high quality, community-based services to individuals with intellectual disabilities.

We define “intellectual disability” as a disability resulting from mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism or any other neurologically handicapping condition closely related to mental retardation.

Central to our mission is the belief that people with intellectual disabilities deserve every opportunity to lead lives that are just as independent and full as everyone else’s.

At MME, we offer group homes, activity centers, thrift stores, employment programs, a supported living program, and transportation services. These services are profoundly empowering for people with intellectual disabilities, many of whom are moving away from institutional living and into community living. It may be the first time they have had a private bedroom to call their own, a voice in their personal surroundings, a paying job, time to themselves, or the independence to simply walk to the store, to a friend’s house, or to church.

We have eight people based in both our Mission View and Benjamin Street Homes in the community of Ronan.  In Polson, MME operates two intensive care group homes – Orchard View, an eight-bed home, and Ninth Avenue, a six-bed home. Our supported living program currently serves 25 individuals.

MME presently has approximately 125 employees.
