COVID-19 Support for Flint
The arrival of COVID-19 in our community poses a grave challenge – the likes of which we have not seen since the Flint Water Crisis. The UM-Flint and the Evergreen Community Development Initiative through the University of Michigan Flint's Flint Truth and Action Partnership Project, a program coordinated through the Office of University Outreach and funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation are working together to help you and your families stay safe during this difficult time. We have prepared a series of videos on this website that will show you how to engage in the best practices to stop the spread of COVID-19. These videos are presented in an easy to follow format that doesn’t use technical jargon and are accessible to all members of the community.
Flint is a strong and resilient community. If we all work together, we can stop COVID-19 from taking any more members of our community. We will get through this.
