The Alabama Head Injury Foundation's carseat program for low income families has been officially launched!
web article
As a result of Alabama Legislature (Act 2006-623), a portion of the fines collected from improperly restrained children will be used to provide carseats to the state’s most needy.
The Alabama Head Injury Foundation (AHIF) is coordinating with projects in Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Anniston to provide seats to parents with limited incomes.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Car Seat Program or would like to contribute to this project, please contact Sandy Koplon at (205) 823-3818, 1-800-433-8002, or email sandykoplon at bellsouth dot net.
