Safe Kids Alaska is once again partnering with Anchorage Fire Department stations (13 locations in Anchorage and Eagle River) to offer bike helmets to children and teens who could not otherwise obtain helmets, beginning on MAY 1st. Please see the attached program flyer. It is important to note that children and teens MUST be present to be fit with a helmet and have it adjusted correctly. Helmets will not be distributed to adult caregivers when a child is not present, as our program is obligated the ensure that correctly sized helmets are fit to each child receiving one.
