Hundreds of thousands of bottles of clean water are being trucked to Flint, Michigan, after toxic lead poisoned the town’s water supply, sickening residents.

Pop icon Cher is partnering with the water company Icelandic Glacial to make it happen. The water is expected to reach the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan by Wednesday.

In a statement, Icelandic Glacial says it will got directly to community centers, food banks and fire houses focusing on low-income housing areas.

Cher is picking up the majority of the cost. President Barack Obama has declared a federal emergency in the city.
