It’s essential to ensure the safety of any young child, but for many families purchasing a car seat can mean a huge financial strain.
That’s why United Way Southern Interior B.C has been traveling throughout the Okanagan to deliver $25,000 worth of car seats to families in need.
On Thursday the organization touched down at Vernon Jubilee Hospital to make a delivery.
“We’ve got just around 50 car seats to deliver to our partner charities and partner agencies in and around Vernon and the North Okanagan who interact closely with families in need, families with low income, families who just had babies in their family or who are about to have babies. [They] are simply having to make a decision between something as expensive as a car seat at $200 or putting food on the table,” Jude Brunt, Community Investment Manager with United Way Southern Interior B.C., said.
