The Community Outreach Center in Monsey is set to host its Annual Safety Awareness Day this Sunday, May 17, bringing together thousands of local families for an afternoon focused on child safety, education, and community engagement.

The family-friendly event will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Community Outreach Center located at 21 Remsen Avenue in Monsey.

Organizers say the event will feature a wide range of safety resources, educational materials, and activities aimed at promoting bicycle and road safety awareness throughout the community.

Among the highlights planned for the event are free bicycle helmet distribution for children, a raffle featuring 40 car seats, and educational handouts focused on bicycle and roadway safety.

Last year’s event drew more than 2,500 children and family members, and organizers say they are expecting another strong turnout this year.

Rabbi Hersh Horowitz, Executive Director of the Community Outreach Center, thanked the many sponsors and community partners helping make the event possible.

Community members are encouraged to attend for what organizers describe as a safe, educational, and enjoyable afternoon for the entire family.
