The Mississippi Corridor Neighborhood Coalition (MCNC) was formed in 1993 and
now has 20 community groups as members.
Can we count on your participation? Fraternal groups, youth groups, church
groups, artists, neighborhood organizations and anyone interested in keeping
our river clean is invited. We attract from 500 - 600 great volunteers every
year. We offer free bags and gloves, free food and entertainment,
environmental exhibits and a half-price river boat ride courtesy of the
Padelford Packet Boat Company. Local businesses have generously supported our
efforts over the years to reward our hard working volunteers.
We are fortunate in living near one of the world’s great rivers - a national
and world renowned water resource. As the current stewards of the river, we
need to keep it free from trash and contaminants. With your help, we can
educate more people about the significance of the Mighty Mississippi and keep
it “clean and green.” Thank you for your participation!
Please call our volunteer clean-up coordinator, Randy Kouri at 612-788-0249
or leave a message at our voice mail, 612-789-3672, if you have any questions
or comments, and we will return your call.
Bring a friend and neighbor - see you on May 19th!
