Ziggy Ansah knows what it’s like to not have clean water.
Growing up in Ghana, Ansah couldn’t just turn on a tap for access to clean drinking water.
So when he heard about the plight the residents of Flint were having with lead-tainted water, he knew he had to step up and do something to help.
What started as a group chat among the Detroit Lions defensive line a few days ago, turned into that unit, led by Ansah with the help of SpartanNash, donating 94,000 bottles of water to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan in Flint Friday afternoon.
