The Car Seat Program portion of the Foundation is the basis of the entire foundation. What started as a lofty goal; to provide carseats to needy families at UMC; suddenly grew, with ambition and imagination of the board members, into Colton's Friends as it is today.With the Carseat Program we hope to provide infant and toddler car restraints to families in need and without resources. This need may be grouped along with other health necessities required by a family, or may be a child in the Newborn Nursery, Nicu, Pediatric 3W or Picu who requires only a carseat.We ask that parents do their best to install the seats safely and correctly, abiding by the law, and if possible have them professionally installed.(UMC has certified child passenger safety technicians).
Car Seat Program Donations
Our Car Seat Program is supported soley by purchases from local retailers and direct purchase from the carseat manufacturer. Although we greatly appreciate your consideration of a donation of a car seat you aren't using, for many reasons we are required to provide families with new seats which inlude the instruction manual. It currently costs the foundation approximately $50 per infant or toddler restraint. A donation of a mere $50 to the foundation will allow us to provide a family with a child restraint that they would not be able to afford!If you are a retailer or car seat manufacturer and would like to assist us in reducing our costs, please contact us. We would happily work out a situation to stretch our spending dollars and therefore meet our goal of providing for more children.
