Alexander County Partnership for Children provides support for parents and families in Alexander County.

Child Passenger Safety Seat Program is funded by the United Way of Alexander County and Buckle Up Kids.  Car seats are evaluated for appropriateness, safety, and proper installation.  The activity also provides parents with a hands-on educational session to ensure that the knowledge and skill of the parent is increased to effectively secure the car seat within the vehicle themselves. ACPC staff are certified Child Passenger Safety Seat Technicians.  Car seat inspections are made by appointment. more info>>>
