Cher Donates 180,000 Bottles of Water to Flint, MI
The singer hopes to help Flint residents, whose water sources have been contaminated with lead.
Flint, Michigan has been suffering from undrinkable city water since 2014. On Saturday, President Obama even declared a federal emergency for the 100,000 residents, who have been unable to use the tap water to cook, drink, or even bathe since the city switched its water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River.
Cher, too, is hoping to help the city. She has partnered with Icelandic Glacial and is donating 181,330 bottles of water to Flint. She said in a press release:
“This is a tragedy of staggering proportion and shocking that it’s happening in the middle of our country. I am so grateful that Icelandic Glacial has come on-board to help the city of Flint. I cannot wait for the water to get there to help these people who have been poisoned because the water they’ve been getting out of their taps has been polluted for so long.”
Preach, Cher, preach.
