Eve’s Fund is sponsoring a free booster seat giveaway in Prewitt, New Mexico through the Buckle Up Navajo community safety event, providing 100 free booster seats to eligible children. This event focuses on protecting children on the road by offering booster seats, safety education, and access to certified car seat technicians.
Families attending can receive a free booster seat for eligible children and have their current car seats checked to ensure proper use. It’s an opportunity to learn simple steps that can make a life-saving difference.
