Safe Haven Baby Box in South Euclid - 1349 South Green Road
Safe Haven Baby Boxes mission is to prevent illegal abandonment of newborns by raising awareness, offering a 24-hour hotline for mothers in crisis and offering the Safe Haven Baby Boxes as a last resort option for women who want to maintain complete anonymity.
There are currently 376 baby boxes in the US and just last month, 6 babies were saved because of them. What a great alternative to a dumpster or other dangerous abandonment. The baby can be placed in the box anonymously and the fire department will be alerted and the baby will be taken to a hospital and receive care and enter a program for adoption.
The first Baby Box in Cuyahoga County was set up at the South Euclid Fire Department and a ceremony and blessing was held on October 10, 2025.
Free smoke detectors installed in Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties
A survey conducted for the Red Cross, shows that people mistakenly believe they have more time than they really do to escape a burning home. Fire experts agree that people may have as little as two minutes to escape a burning home before it’s too late to get out. But most Americans (62 percent) mistakenly believe they have at least five minutes to escape, more than twice the amount they actually have. Nearly 18 percent mistakenly believe they have ten minutes or more to get out.
Across the country, the Red Cross is partnering with local fire departments and community groups to install smoke alarms in neighborhoods with high numbers of home fires. The goal is to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next five years. Smoke alarm installations are available for homes in Cuyahoga, Lake Geauga and Ashtabula counties. More Information.
You can also call 216-361-5535 to request a smoke alarm installation. Leave a message and clearly state your first and last name, full address and phone number. Please note the Red Cross does not provide carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
