Parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of serious injuries and deaths by making sure children are properly buckled in the correct car seat or booster seat, per the American Academy of Pediatrics. We provide car seats for first time expectant parents when available!
PARENTING WORKSHOPS

first time expectant parents.
Our topics include:

We can bring our hygiene and school supplies directly to you as we do for the shelters and agencies we work with. Our hygiene and school supplies kits are available in two sizes, and provided throughout the year
while supplies last.
These filled diaper bags with supplies are provided to police stations and homeless shelters. Any public agency that services children are welcome.
There are several young people in our community performing and achieving greatness every day to make our communities better, Providing for Kids delights in recognizing these youth.
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) LAPD Chief Charlie Beck was among those on hand Tuesday to honor a child advocate for her work in the community. Adrienne Mack, director of the Providing For Kids Foundation, was publicly recognized for her efforts.
When Adrienne discovered that police stations were not equipped with infant supplies for when police officers are required to take infants into their custody – and thus requiring officers to purchase supplies at their own expense in order to properly care for the infants – she set out to find a solution and developed the “Temporary Diaper Bag Program,” which is a diaper bag complete with all the supplies an infant might need while in the temporary custody of the police officers.
Additionally, Adrienne combined efforts with South Traffic Division officers to join her in her first “parenting workshop” she developed. This combined effort allowed Adrienne to include traffic stats, car seat safety, and its importance.
“The success of the Los Angeles Police Department is largely due to members of the public who commit their time and energy to our communities,” said Beck. “Adrienne Mack is truly one of those special individuals who have committed herself to making our community a better place.”
