Helping families keep kids safe
At Safe Kids Missoula, we provide families with practical information and accessible tools to help prevent childhood injuries.
Whether it’s providing a car seat to a family facing financial barriers, partnering with home visiting programs to deliver Home Safety Kits to families in need, or sharing simple, take-action tip sheets to help families create safer environments, we are here to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and safe.
Need-based car seats
Safe Kids Missoula helps ensure every child is safe in the car by providing car seats to families who are unable to afford one or who may be navigating a crisis situation. As funding and inventory allow, we offer seats at no cost and pair each family with a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to guide proper installation and answer questions. Our goal is to make safety accessible, supportive, and reassuring—especially when families need it most.
If your child is in need of a car seat, Call us at (406)926-2522 or email our Safe Kids Missoula Coordinator.
Home Safety Kits
Safe Kids Missoula provides Home Safety Kits to families who need support creating a safer living environment. Each kit includes essential items such as carbon monoxide alarms, medicine lock boxes, outlet covers, gun locks, and more to help reduce common risks in the home. We distribute these kits through local home visiting programs, ensuring that families receive not only the tools they need, but also individualized guidance and conversation with a trusted professional who already knows their needs and circumstances.
*If you are in need and are not working with a family support specialist, call us.
Gun Locks
Safe Kids Missoula works with our local chapter of Moms Demand Action to provide education and free gun locks to encourage responsible firearm storage. We know that secure firearm storage helps prevent unintentional firearm injuries — like injuries that happen when a curious young child finds an unsecured firearm and hurt themselves or someone else. It can also help prevent suicide by eliminating or slowing access during moments of crisis. Our goal is to make sure everyone knows the steps they can take to reduce these injuries, and have access to gun locks to store firearms securely.
If you need a gun lock, call our office at (406) 926-2522, and check out our Secure Firearm Storage page for more information and links to a variety of resources!
Take-action Information
Safe Kids Missoula shares simple, take-action information to help families protect children at home, out in the community, and on the road. Through social media, media campaigns, and easy-to-use educational materials like tip sheets, we work to make safety guidance accessible and understandable. Our goal is to ensure families have the information they need to make informed choices and take preventative steps that keep kids healthy and safe every day.
