Safe Kids Dalton Receives Donation

The Dalton, GA chapter of Safe Kids received a donation of $3,500 on Friday, July 18th from Windstream Communications.  The donation will help fund the purchase of more car seats for the program.  As treasurer of the organization, Dalton Police Sergeant Chris Cooke was on hand at the Dalton American Red Cross for a media event for the donation.

Safe Kids is a partnership of the Dalton Police Department, the American Red Cross, and other Public Safety agencies in Dalton and Whitfield County, as well as area businesses. Safe Kids provides information and inspection of car safety seats for families in the Dalton/Whitfield County area.  For more information on the program, click here.
