County accepts $10,000 PICHC grant to buy 100 car seats and provide installation education
Summary
The committee accepted a $10,000 Perinatal and Infant Health Collaboratives (PICHC) grant to purchase 100 car seats and boosters and to provide installation education at Department of Health events for eligible residents in the county’s three cities.
The Public Safety & Emergency Services Committee accepted a $10,000 PICHC grant from the Orange County Department of Health to buy 100 car seats and booster seats for distribution at monthly events that include installation education.
Robert Doss told the committee the funds will buy seats for those who cannot afford them and that recipients must be enrolled through the Department of Health monthly events; he said the program also provides instruction on proper installation and safe transfer of seats between vehicles. The committee approved the appropriation unanimously.
The minutes note the program primarily benefits the three cities in Orange County; the record does not specify which cities or the timeline for distribution.
