Orvis Giveback month & perennial foods tasting night

We are thrilled to announce that Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) is again partnering with Orvis for their Great Giveback Days program throughout September!

At Orvis - Miracle Mile, located in St. Louis Park, you have the opportunity to make a difference by donating to FMR at the register from Sept.1 through Sept. 31. When you donate $10 or more, you will receive a one-time-use savings card for 10% off your purchase at Orvis - Miracle Mile. Some restrictions apply.

Perennial foods tasting night 

Come visit FMR at Orvis - Miracle Mile on September 14 from 5:30-7 p.m. We'll be there serving perennial foods made with clean-water crops, like Kernza crackers and beer. It's a great opportunity to learn more about our work while sampling some unique snacks. 

Since 2022, Orvis - Miracle Mile has raised over $21,000 to support our mission to protect, restore and enhance the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities metro. We are grateful to be a recipient of their generosity this year. Contributions go to protecting clean water, restoring habitat and advocating for a river for all.

In just three years, Orvis' Great Giveback Days program has raised over $1 million dollars for many different organizations, including FMR, across the country. In 2023, their goal is to raise $500,000 in local store markets.
