BCAA and United Way joined together to generously give Langley Community Services Society 12 car seats.  The car seats have been used in 2 ways.  Six of the seats were distributed to families who participate in either our Family Place program, our CCRR program or our Early Learning program.  The remaining 5 car seats are being used by counsellors in our Family Connections program.  These counsellors work with children of all ages and sometimes that work involves driving them to appointments.

The recipients of the car seats have enthusiastically expressed their appreciation to BCAA and United Way for the gift of the car seat.  As anyone who has purchased a car seat knows, they are essential and expensive.  We were delighted to be able to help a few of our clients with this necessary expense.  Thank you to BCAA and United Way for supporting the staff and clients at Langley Community Services Society.
