HOUSTON – Houstonians are doing their part to help make sure people in Flint, Michigan, have safe drinking water.

"Houston has grown to be a great city and I know all of us will answer the call to help these people in Flint, Michigan, with '100,000+ Cases for Flint, Michigan,'" Ovide Duncantell, Executive Director of The Black Heritage Society, said.

People in Flint can't drink the water because of dangerous levels of lead in it.

Donations will continue at eight different fire departments across the city through February.
