Rotary offers child safety seats to Families First clients
PORTSMOUTH The Portsmouth Sunrise Rotary Club announces its new Child Safety Seat Program. For a limited time, the Portsmouth Sunrise Rotary Club will be providing free child safety seats to clients of the Families First Health and Support Center. The program will be initiated through Families First and will work in partnership with the Portsmouth Police Department.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children ages 2 14, due in part to the non use or improper use of child seats.
Clients of Families First can request a child safety seat by contacting Eliza Seavey at 422-8208. Once the request is approved, clients will schedule an appointment with a certified car safety seat installer to receive their new car seat and learn the proper installation.
Families First is a nonprofit agency offering a wide variety of affordable health care and family support services to individuals and families, regardless of ability to pay. For more information, call 603-422-8208 or visit www.FamiliesFirstSeacoast.org.
To support this program with a financial donation or to obtain additional information on how to become a member of the Portsmouth Sunrise Club, contact Pat Lyons at 603-767-0009
