The city of Phoenix, in conjunction with Morningside Evangelical Presbyterian Church, will host Keeping Kids Safe Day 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 22, at Morningside Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 3312 E. Campbell Ave.

The Phoenix Police and Fire departments will give safety tips at the event; Police will also demonstrate VIN etching for vehicles; and the Fire Department will conduct car seat safety checks. Barbeque will be provided by the Rotaract Club of Phoenix with food and drink proceeds benefiting needy families. Event-goers can shop for clothes, books, toys, accessories and other family favorites—all while exploring safety resources. There will also be live music from local performer Elizabeth Kibodeaux along with some tunes that will remind your kids how to stay safe. And, just in time for Easter, there will be an Easter egg hunt and a special visit from the Easter Bunny.

For people doing spring cleaning, used clothing and books will be collected at the event, along with canned goods. The clothes and canned goods will be distributed to a local charity and the books will be given to the Phoenix Public Library and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Keeping Kids Safe Day is sponsored by the Phoenix Police and Fire departments and the office of Councilman Greg Stanton; Morningside Evangelical Presbyterian Church; Janson & Associates; Phoenix Children’s Hospital; Friends of the Phoenix Public Library; and the Rotaract Club of Phoenix.
