A wide range of groups are currently collecting or helping to
bring water to needy residents in Flint, Michigan where 100,000
residents have no clean drinking water due to lead-contamination. Veterans in
HVAF’s Vet2Vet group have teamed up with Dollar
General #6874 to collect bottled water. Vet to Vet is a support group that meets weekly to plan community
service projects as well as talk about the day-to-day challenges in their
lives.
“It’s humbling to see these veterans who have
very little in materialistic things want to help a fellow American in need,”
says James Miller, Vet2Vet Peer Mentor and Air Force veteran.
The
group plans to collect a van full and then deliver it to a partnering agency who
will then drive the water donation to Michigan.
