Yesterday, two new Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Slidell and Covington were blessed and opened! The above video is WDSU’s news segment from last night! The installation of these boxes marks a significant step toward protecting the most vulnerable members of our community.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes are temperature-controlled, secure devices often installed on the outside of a hospital or fire station. This allows parents in Louisiana to anonymously and legally surrender their newborn baby.
This initiative reflects our community’s commitment to compassionate solutions and lifesaving support. We are grateful to everyone who made this possible — from city leaders and first responders to the Safe Haven Baby Boxes organization and generous donors.
