Lend a Hand

A series from Big River Magazine

To show our appreciation for the thousands of people along the Mississippi that donate time and energy to improve the river in many different ways, Big River published a series highlighting nine nonprofit river groups.

Here are a variety of opportunities to roll up your sleeves and lend a hand. It's a fun way to learn about the river and meet other river lovers.
