In recognition of Safe Kids Week, Safe Kids Northeast Georgia, led by Northeast Georgia Medical Center, held a Safe Kids Day event on Saturday, May 8th at the Gainesville Fire Station 1. Many agencies including Amerigroup and Georgia Mountain Food Bank were present at the event to help serve the community and promote child passenger safety. A station was set up for car seat checks and distributions as well as stations for diaper/wipes distribution, meal distribution, and fun activities for children.
There were over 150 attendees including caregivers, children, and volunteers. In total, 68 car seats were distributed and 11 car seats were checked.
A big shoutout goes to Safe Kids Northeast Georgia Coordinator, Elaina Lee, for her part in organizing a great community event!
