Salem Lutheran Church in Flint continues to deliver and invite people to pick up as much water as they need…and this is bottled water, rain barrels and filters. Please remember Clean water as we struggle here in the Great Lakes to keep fresh water and clean water even with all of the dumping going into the lakes and the removal of water for bottled water products.
