Michigan-Based Connect for Water Non-Profit Prepares to Send Thousands of Filters to Hurricane Dorian Survivors

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Connect for Water, a social impact nonprofit founded dedicated to helping people throughout the world address their safe water needs, has partnered with organizations like 20 Liters and the Red Cross to quickly deliver water filters to survivors of Hurricane Dorian.

The Grand Rapids-based organization hopes to initially deliver 1,000 water filters with a broader goal of distributing as many as 50,000. 

"We already have numerous donors, corporations and other nonprofits supporting us due to our immediate inventory, on-the-ground access and local distribution partners that will allow us to get these in people's hands as soon as this weekend," said Jereme Lambert, Executive Director of Connect for Water. "Our filters provide a sustainable, clean and safe solution to those who might not otherwise have access to consumable water."

Connect for Water has a history of providing aid amid natural disasters and delivered 150,000 water filters to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Filters are distributed with a sustainable mindset and the nonprofit establishes a local business supply chain in-country to help communities rebuild economically while providing relief.
