Powell County Gets New Safe Haven Box | Lexington News

Powell County is set to welcome its first Safe Haven Baby Box — a secure, anonymous lifeline for parents in crisis — located at the Ambulance Service on Adkinson Street in Stanton. Funded entirely by private donors and local groups like Gateway Right to Life, this will be Kentucky’s 69th such box, part of a national network of over 470. Under Kentucky’s Safe Haven law, parents can legally surrender newborns without fear of charges, ensuring safety for both infants and families. The official blessing and unveiling is scheduled for September 14 at 11 AM — a community moment to welcome this vital resource.
