Get Me There SAFELY! Free Child Car Seat Inspection & More!

Thursday, December 1  2022, from 3 pm to 7 pm, CHC will participate in the Get Me There SAFELY! a free child car seat inspection event. This public safety event will be held at First Christian Church in Santa Maria. Food and diapers will also be distributed at this event.

As many of you may already know, three children have died in tragic vehicle accidents in recent weeks in Santa Barbara County.  Unfortunately, the children who lost their lives were not properly secured in their car seats at the time of the accident. Had the children been correctly restrained in their car seats, the loss of life might have been avoided. 

These community organizations will be offering: 

• • • Children’s Resource & Referral will be distributing new car seats
    • CHC will provide Viral Care Kits and  COVID-19 At-Home Tests
    • The California Highway Patrol is providing car seat technicians & bilingual officers to assist in properly installing car seats to bring awareness and education to Spanish-speaking parents
    • Cottage Health will provide technicians to inspect car seats
    • SMPD Spanish-speaking officers will be present to assist members of the public 
    • Dignity Health will provide Mixtec translators
    • Children’s Resource Network will provide free clothing and diapers

PLEASE NOTE: This is a NO-COST event – for child safety seat inspections: your child and car are required.
