A 9-year-old boy from Franklin Park recently collected water to aid residents of Flint, Mich.
“The police department was contacted by our good friend Travis Hall, who likes to help people,” said Franklin Park Director of Police Michael Witz.
In the past, Hall also organized a campaign to feed emergency first responders on Sept. 11 with food and drink that he went out and collected from local businesses.

Travis said he wanted to help out after reading about the water crisis in Flint, which as left thousands exposed to drinking water with high levels of lead. This time around, he called on village residents to donate water, which he and his mother drove to Flint by truck two weeks ago.
