December marks the kick-off of CoMoGives . During the entire month, River Relief will be participating in this online donation campaign, with 148 other local organizations!

We hope you'll consider River Relief, and help kick-start this action-oriented, volunteer and equipment-based organization into a new year!!!
Your support helps us provide unparalleled river experiences to thousands each year. Make your donation today or anytime throughout the month, and then watch us climb the leaderboard! #comogives #loveyourbigmuddy #riverrelief
Our staff attended a mental health first aid class last year (it was really good), and we get little tips in our inboxes from time to time. Thought this was a good one to share, as the end of the year nears, and life gets busy.
"It’s the holiday season again. While this time of year can elicit excitement and joy, it can also feel stressful and challenging – especially as we all continue to cope with the impact of COVID-19. In fact, an American Psychological Association poll found that 45% of Americans would prefer to skip the holidays entirely to avoid the associated stress. If this is how you’re feeling, you’re not alone.
Whether you are excited or are experiencing feelings of apprehension and uncertainty, keeping your mental wellbeing a priority is crucial. Simple self-care strategies and advance preparation can help you cope with the “new normal” and make the most of this time of year. We’re here to help with information and tips from Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)."
I love that you all do this for your staff. ❤️
