Community Foundation of Greater Flint truly cares about the children and teachers of Flint. I was a teacher from Cummings Great Expectations. I seen first hand, how this organization was concerned about the well-being of all the teachers. This was very important to myself as well as all the teachers involved in this new child development center. Thanks to the out pouring of generosity of the Foundation, the teachers had everything they needed to provide the best developmentally appropriate education and care. Because of the community collaboration, we are making a difference to the youngest children and their families affected by the Flint Water Crisis. Thank you!
