NEWS RELEASE
Governor Kelly Armstrong has directed over $1.5 million in state funds to support food-assistance programs across North Dakota during the federal government shutdown.
Key Points:

▪️ An additional ~$600,000 is being used to support the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program through November.
▪️ More than 56,000 North Dakotans — including many families with children and older adults — continue to be at risk of losing federal SNAP nutrition benefits.

• Always read the car seat and vehicle owner’s manuals before use.
• Choose the right car seat to fit a child’s size, age and physical needs following the manufacturer’s car seat instructions.
• Secure child restraints in vehicles according to instructions so that the car seat does not move more than one inch.
• Tighten car seat harnesses on children so caregivers cannot pinch any excess harness.
• Always use the tether strap on the top of a forward-facing car seat to secure it to the vehicle seat. This locks down the top of the child’s car seat, reducing serious head and neck injuries.
