VALPARAISO — Children at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Emerald Coast church are helping their peers in Flint, Michigan.

The Northwest Florida residents — some from Crestview — used a Lemon-AID stand to raise $60 for kids affected by the Flint water crisis, through which lead leached into the Flint water system.

The donation through www.flintkids.org will be used to provide things such as healthy food, education or environmental improvements.
