The Arcata Police Department is working to get more children and teens to wear bike helmets and to wear them properly by offering free helmet giveaways and fittings at community events.
APD plans to have free helmets available for children and teens at as many public events as possible, including the 12th Annual Arcata Bike Rodeo that will take place at the end of May. To ensure that local kids and teens in-need have access to free helmets year-round, APD is seeking community donations.
Community members who wish to contribute are asked to drop off monetary donations or new helmets in their original packaging at the APD front office, located at 736 F Street in Arcata. Donations will also be accepted by mail with a note that says “Helmet Donation.”
New helmets or checks made payable to the City of Arcata, may be sent to: Arcata Police Department 736 F Street Arcata, CA 95521 For more information, please call 707-822-2428.
