MISSOURI RIVER RELIEF

Help me support one of my favorite nonprofits...Missouri River Relief! 

Missouri River Relief’s mission is to engage individuals and communities along the Missouri River in the exploration, enjoyment, restoration and care of the river through hands-on river cleanups, education programs and recreation. 

Since 2001, Missouri River Relief has been bringing people to the Missouri River. More than 33,000 volunteers have removed over 2 million pounds of trash from the river. They've worked with more than 40,000 students and teachers to help develop a relationship with the river. Thousands of people have experienced the Missouri River for the first time at one of their events. 

Since 2018, over 7,000 Columbia Public School fourth graders have participated in the "Missouri River Days" field trip, transforming our community's relationship with our continent's longest river. Each summer, hundreds of adventurers paddle their way across the state in the "Missouri American Water MR340", celebrating its 20th year in 2025. 

Missouri River Relief excels at creating opportunities for people to make the river part of their story. When the river becomes part of our story, we become the voice of the river.

Your donations help Missouri River Relief to build knowledge and understanding of the Missouri River through hands-on experiences that deepen people's connection and sense of responsibility to their river.
