New Safe Haven Baby Box at the Glasgow Fire Department

GLASGOW, KY.- Glasgow is getting a new addition that will help current mothers and the children of the future.

With the support of the community, The Glasgow Fire Department is adding a Safe Haven Baby Box. This new baby box will give mothers in the community another option if they are unable to provide a safe and nurturing home for their child.

Chief William Rock with the Glasgow Fire Department tells us “Most fire stations are safe havens, places where you can bring a child in here, and we’ve had it ever since I’ve been here. But it’s hard to make that decision as it is. Then they come through and whether they judge or not, you’re still feeling bad.”

This box gives people an opportunity to make that tough decision without worry of judgement.

The baby box will be installed during the summer, giving women more opportunities to help their baby.
