Car Seats
If you have any unused car seats that meet the current health and safety standards for car restraints and are no longer needed by your children, consider donating these car seats to people who want to visit family members who are in prison, mainly in Milton. Seats from small baby to booster seats are needed. The Prisoner Aid and Rehabilitation Society (PARS) people in Oamaru will be responsible for looking after and lending the car seats. The Catholic Women's League are collecting these as part of their community service and the contact person is Coleen Blackmore on 434 8133.
