Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office Launches Child Safety Program
The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Alex Lape, has announced a partnership with the National Child Safety Council to implement an Annual Child Safety Education Program. This initiative aims to educate children and the broader community on critical safety issues, including drug abuse, stranger awareness, and internet safety.
To support this essential program, the Sheriff’s Office is reaching out to local business leaders for financial donations. Each contribution will fund educational materials necessary for the program. The National Child Safety Council, a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is responsible for creating these resources. The cost is set at $3.00 per child, allowing for a manageable way for businesses to contribute.
Community Engagement and Sponsorship Opportunities
The initiative seeks to engage community stakeholders by highlighting the importance of investing in the safety and well-being of children. Contributions will be acknowledged, with donor names displayed in the sponsorship section of all activity manuals. This recognition serves to honor those who invest in the future of children, affirming their commitment to community welfare.
Sponsorship levels vary, enabling businesses to choose their level of support. For instance, contributing $90 supports 30 children, while a donation of $900 can provide resources for up to 300 children. Such tiered options encourage participation from businesses of all sizes, aligning community interests in a shared goal of child safety.
How to Contribute
The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes that donations represent more than just financial support; they are an investment in the safety of children and the community. Interested parties can make their contributions by issuing checks to the NATIONAL CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL, specifically for program #OH 23-C-1. Additionally, a QR code included in their solicitation materials allows for seamless digital donations, making it easier for supporters to contribute.
This collaboration highlights a proactive approach to addressing safety concerns within the community, ensuring that children receive the necessary education to navigate potential risks effectively. As the program unfolds, the contributions from local businesses will play a significant role in its success and impact on the youth of Fairfield County.
