We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic work Flora's Walk is doing to raise awareness for perinatal mental health within the Hamilton community, as well as Canada-wide.

Our missions are similar in our hope that families will be supported during those critical early years💜

We are so thankful you have chosen to collect donations for Essential Aid in support of our Infant and Toddler Foodbank.

🌷It’s that time of year when many of us are decluttering and getting rid of unwanted items — including old car seats. But before you leave one at the curb, remember:

Used car seats may be expired, damaged, or missing important parts — putting another child at risk. Here is how to safely dispose of a car seat:

🫳Remove the padding
✂️Cut the straps and buckles
✍️Write “DO NOT USE” on the shell
🗑️Dispose of straps/harness separately from the shell
💻Request bulk pick up (details in the comments)

Let’s keep our community safe by making sure unsafe car seats don’t get reused 💛
