Question Car seat donation suggestion for a Seattle homeless children organization?

Hello!

My mom is volunteering at Mary's Place, a non-profit Day Center for homeless women & their children in Seattle, WA. They provide showers, laundry, restrooms, etc.

They are in desperate need of infant car seats, toddler car seats, and boosters to be used when they rescue women and their children to bring them back to the shelter. Would anyone know of a good way to get seats donated to them? I figured someone on this site would know.

More info on Mary's Place as an fyi....

Thank you kindly!

I don't know exactly, but I'd skip the infant seats. You can get two Sceneras for the cost of one infant seat, and it will last years longer.

Target, Wal-Mart, and several other stores all have community donation programs and grant money for stuff like this available. You'd have to fill out a form or two and write up a proposal, but they should be willing to donate some seats to you (Sceneras, backless Cosco boosters, and high-backed Graco Turbo Boosters are good options for cheap seats that will fit most of the kids you serve.)

:yeahthat:

I go to a school for teen moms and WalMart donates seats all the time, about weekly.

Walmart gave our mops group a gift card to buy stuff for our group. I told our director that I would be willing to go to walmart, target, kmart and tru and ask for donations. We got our grants cut like everyone else.
