Events like this from Harambe Wellness are all part of the bigger picture plan to help Flint fully recover from the trauma of the last 10 years.

Our city was still in recovery mode from the Flint Water Crisis when the Covid pandemic took hold. The long lasting health problems could be catastrophic if there were no programs to help get people out and moving. That's why the work that Harambe is doing is so important. By taking a community approach to an active and health lifestyle, it's easier for everyone to support each other.
