Car Seat Loan Program

Volunteers at Monroe Clinic also contribute to the safety of the community through our Car Seat Loan Program. This program offers new parents temporary use of an infant car seat at a price much lower than the seat’s purchase price. By cleaning and distributing the car seats, volunteers are helping keep our littlest citizens safe.
