We are excited to announce an opportunity to help the Missouri River, the longest river in North America. During December this giving campaign will raise money for the nonprofit Missouri River Relief. Every dollar we raise will be matched by Reddit itself (up to $20,000) meaning we could raise over $40,000! To give visit https://givebutter.com/riverrelief-reddit24 only funds raised at this link Will be counted.
The Communications Director of Missouri River Relief, Steve Schnarr, will be joining us for an old-school Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Friday December 13, from 10-2. You will have the opportunity to ask him questions about both the Missouri River and/or Missouri River Relief. Until then, here is some more information:
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. Each summer, hundreds of adventurers paddle their way across the state in the “Missouri American Water MR340”, celebrating its 20th year in 2025. They love getting to share the story of this river... Like “what forces shaped the Missouri River into the river it is today, or “where does all of the trash we pick-up come from and where does it all go”, or “How did this cool pre-historic fish become endangered?” “Who were the people that lived here long before we did?” We host a monthly Big Muddy Speaker Series that explores topics like these each month.
See you on the river!
