River Cleanups hosted by Missouri River Relief
Our modified River Cleanups provide volunteers a safe opportunity to explore and enjoy the river with family, friends, and neighbors while beautifying a gorgeous stretch of the Big Muddy.
These events are hosted by partner organizations that Missouri River Relief is assisting with:
To witness the determination of river racers, the grit of the ground crews and the hospitality of the volunteers involved are truly inspiring. We are proud to provide safety boats to assist up and down these racecourses and be part of so many races that have changed the way our state looks at our rivers.
These serve our mission to connect people to the Missouri River in an intimate way, while also raising money as a fundraiser to support our efforts.
Our education programs engage participants’ sense of wonder and natural curiosity to explore the Missouri River through place-based programs. We seek to build knowledge and understanding of the Missouri River through hands-on experiences that will deepen connection and a sense of responsibility for its care and stewardship.

We pride ourselves on bringing communities together regardless of what the occasion might be, big or small. Here are a few public outreach events you're welcome to participate in:

We are encouraging individuals to get their “pod” together and form their own “Trash Mob”, or individual cleanup.
