SHERBROOKE INC

LA GRANDE TABLE
SERVICES
Parents-Secours (Block Parent) is a safety
program for children, seniors, and others.
The red and white Parents-Secours sign in the window of a home
tells children, seniors, and others that help is at hand if they are
lost, frightened, or in distress.
In addition to its safety network, Parents-Secours offers community
education programs to increase the personal safety of children,
teens, and seniors. Working together with educators and police,
Parents-Secours helps make your community safer. You can help
too!
ACTIVITY
Become a Block Parent today!
When you are “available” (which means you are home and able to
answer the door to someone requiring assistance), simply display
the sign in a window visible from the street. When a child or senior
who is being bothered by a stranger or a bully, or who is sick, hurt,
or lost, sees the sign, he or she will know that a “SAFE ADULT” is
there to offer help.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at
