Lids4Kids Program

Oregon State Law requires that helmets be worn by youth 15 years old and younger when riding skateboards (as well as skates, bikes and scooters) in public places. Head injuries are the No. 1 cause of serious injury and death resulting from falls and collisions when riding these.

As a result, the Lids4Kids program was begun. This enables any youth to obtain a free helmet simply by coming to City Hall to be fitted with the correct size. Generous donations from the area's businesses and private citizens have enabled over 250 helmets to be given away to area youth since the program started in spring of 2004.

To obtain a free helmet, or to donate to the program, contact Mike Watkins at City Hall, 938-8236
