From classroom presentations to bulletin boards to booth displays, Safe Kids Grand Forks will assist with your unintentional injury prevention needs.
Safe Kids Grand Forks Products
We have a wide range of safety items available at our Safe Kids office. Our goal is to provide education on the safe use of these products, as well as proper fit for items such as life jackets, helmets and car seats. We want to not just get the products into your hands, but to teach proper use and replacement of these safety devices. Therefore, we ask that you set up a time to meet with us to pick up the things that you need, remembering that we are a part time office and are frequently out in the community conducting events. Please call ahead to make an appointment or e-mail us for a time atsafekids@altru.org.
We have a suggested donation price for all these items. If you are not able to afford an item, please speak with a Safe Kids team member for possible resource options.
