DuPage County SAFE KIDS is a chapter of the Illinois SAFE KIDS, a coalition of Safe Kids USA. We support child safety initiatives in DuPage County and neighboring communities in the Chicago suburbs. Our current emphasis is child passenger safety; through the West Suburban Child Passenger Safety Team, we organize checkup events and coordinate local fitting stations throughout the year. We also participate in carseat distribution programs to low income families in DuPage County, though program cuts at the DuPage County Health Department, The Care and Counseling Center, Healthy DuPage, Central DuPage Hospital and other agencies have severely hurt this effort. Our chapter is a non-profit organization and our meetings are open to the public. Through Car-Safety.Org, we provide information about child passenger and vehicle safety on a national level. Included on this page are a list of future events, a meeting schedule and a list of our member organizations. We invite support for our initiatives from individuals and other organizations. Please contact one of our officers listed at the bottom of this page!
Due program and budget cuts at the DuPage County Health Department and other local government agencies over the last few years, we are actively seeking new sources of funding for our vital programs. Due to these cuts in our funding and program cuts at other county organizations, we regret that DuPage County SAFE KIDS can not currently provide free child seats to WIC or other low income families. In the mean time, parents may contact the DuPage County Health Department to see if they qualify for a free class and child restraint, courtesy of the Wheaton Police Department and funded through a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation.
