Make a special year-end gift to the Mississippi River today

Times are a little tough, but the river still needs your support, and in order to continue all of our many programs and project to protect the Mississippi and its watershed in your community, so does FMR. You can make a secure donation right now by visiting http://www.fmr.org/support.

Your support makes it possible for Friends of the Mississippi River to provide the high-quality volunteer and educational opportunities so many of you participate in. Your gift supports Friends of the Mississippi River's role as the voice for the Twin Cities stretch of the river. You can donate at http://www.fmr.org/support/donate.

Together we can make difference for our river and our community. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

P.S. If you would like to make a gift of stock or start the new year off with a monthly giving plan (a convenient way to make an even bigger difference), please contact Heather via our contact form or at 651-222-2193 x20.
