Safe Haven Baby Boxes: A Lifeline for Parents in Crisis

Safe Haven Baby Boxes work to prevent the illegal abandonment of newborns by raising awareness, providing a 24-hour crisis hotline for parents in distress, and offering a last-resort option for safe and anonymous infant surrender.

As heartbreaking as it is to imagine, every year, countless infants are abandoned across the United States. Each situation is unique, yet many parents face overwhelming emotional and practical challenges that can lead to desperate and unsafe decisions. These tragic cases highlight the urgent need for a secure and compassionate alternative—one that allows parents to safely and anonymously surrender their child while giving the baby a chance for a brighter future.

Since 2016, Safe Haven Baby Boxes have provided a discreet and secure option for surrendering newborns. Through education on the Safe Haven Law, a 24-hour national hotline, and the installation of carefully designed baby boxes in fire stations and hospitals nationwide, this initiative ensures that no child is left without care and no parent feels they have no options.

I fully support Safe Haven Baby Boxes and its mission to give parents in crisis a truly anonymous way to keep their infant safe while providing hope for the child’s future. This life-saving option must be available in my community. I stand behind their efforts to support parents in crisis and create a pathway of hope for both mothers and their babies.

Hope begins here.
