Cher has made a much-needed donation to the people of Flint, Michigan.

The “Strong Enough” singer is giving 181,440 bottles of water to the city, whose water supply had been contaminated with lead.

After reading about Flint’s plight—more than 100,000 people have been consuming tainted water since 2014—Cher contacted her friend Brad Horwitz, an investor in the spring water company Icelandic Glacial. Horwitz connected Cher to the company’s chairman, Jon Olafsson, and communicated her wish to make the donation.

These bottles will begin arriving January 20 at the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan. From there, they will be sent to food banks and community centers for distribution to residents who live below the poverty line, a demographic that comprises about 40 percent of the city’s population. After use, the food banks will recycle the bottles and keep the money raised in the process.

“This a tragedy of staggering proportion and shocking that it’s happening in the middle of our country,” Cher stated. “I am so grateful that Icelandic Glacial has come on-board to help the city of Flint."

I'm actually surprised that Madonna didn't donate anyone to her home state.
