| Program Overview |
|
The biggest threat to the health and safety of young children is an automobile accident. More young children die or are seriously injured each year from these crashes than from any illness or other type of accident. Yet, the tragedies resulting from automobile crashes can be reduced dramatically by the consistent, proper use of child safety seats and safety belts.
The Car Seat Program is a nonprofit program that is administered by Umatilla Morrow County Head Start. This is provided without federal or state funding and relies on donations from local groups and foundations.
The program is provided as a service to Umatilla and Morrow County Residents. Car Seats are provided to low income families at a reduced cost. The price of the seats range from 10.00 to 20.00 depending on the seat needed. Seats may be purchased in Hermiston at the Administration Building, and in Pendleton at the Hawthorne School. |
