Donate A ZeroWater Filter To #Flint, And ZeroWater Will Double Your Donation
By NH Labor News | January 23, 2016 | Press Release
ZeroWater Announces Filters For Flint Program in Conjunction with United Way
Donation Matching Program Assists in the Ongoing Effort to Provide Clean Water to residents of Flint, MI
Bensalem, PA ZeroWater is continuing efforts to provide clean water relief to the community of Flint, Michigan with the announcement of Filters for Flint, a one for one matching program in conjunction with United Way. Both ZeroWater and United Way understand that this is an ongoing problem and the demand for continuous disbursement of certified filters for lead reduction is crucial during this time.
We believe we can help with the ongoing effort by providing more of our filters to the Flint community as quickly as possible, stated Doug Kellam, CEO of ZeroWater. We are encouraging any and all to donate, the more we can give the better. In particular, I hope our loyal customers will donate, as they understand the value of the NSF certification for lead reduction in an easy to use filter pitcher
ZeroWater will match all product contributions (One for One) ordered on behalf of Flint, and are encouraging donations from individuals as well as organizations and corporations committed to helping a community in need. All products will be shipped by ZeroWater to United Way of Genesee County, who will in turn distribute them through officially established outlets to the community.
This lead issue could go on for some time says Jamie Gaskin of The United Way of Genesee County. We are thankful for all the help that ZeroWater has and can provide. It truly makes a difference in working through this awful crisis.

This is a crappy company with a crappy product trying to make money off of this tragic situation by appearing to be "the good guys".

It just seems like a lot of corporations (like Anheuser-Busch, for instance) are trying to take advantage of the good publicity associated with appearing to help. The OP reads like a press release for Zero Water.
