United Way British Columbia — working with communities in the interior including Trail and surrounding areas, as well as the Lower Mainland and Central and Northern Vancouver Island — believes that no family should have to choose between the safety of their child and other essential costs.
Over 150,000 children, or almost one in five, live in poverty in B.C., and around one in five children do not have access to an appropriate car seat.
These reasons brought about the United Way British Columbia’s Child Safety Initiative, a unique partnership between United Way British Columbia, the Paul Docksteader Foundation, Central Okanagan Foundation and Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.
