Mercy Waters, a quad cities based charity organization dedicated to providing clean water to those in need, is holding a water drive for the victims of Flint, Michigan. This is an entire city that is suffering from lead contamination. The health of Flint families and their children has been compromised and they are in need of our assistance.
