SCCF Supports New Safe Haven Baby Box
|
|
Last month, Steuben County Community Foundation supported the installation of a Safe Haven Baby Box in Angola. Safe Haven Baby Box Inc. is a nonprofit founded by firefighter and medic, Monica Kelsey. The Safe Haven Baby Box provides an opportunity for people to anonymously surrender their healthy newborn without fear of criminal prosecution, and it supports the safety and well being of the infant from the moment they are placed in the box.
SCCF President and CEO, Jennifer Danic, spoke last month at the unveiling of Angola's new Safe Haven Baby Box, sharing, “The Foundation was happy to see the fire department and city come together to make this resource available. It’s not every day the board can make a grant that has such broad community impact!” SCCF provided grant support for the purchase of the box, and other groups donated time to install the box and provide maintenance.
