Stories like this should concern all of us.

Less than a week ago, a baby believed to be less than one month old was abandoned and left outside unattended in a park. Fortunately, the infant was discovered by a passerby and turned over to authorities before any harm came to the child.

This situation underscores the need for Safe Haven Baby Boxes in communities across our region. It is one of the many reasons Firefighter/Paramedic Steven Walton and the Northeast Ambulance & Fire Protection District are working to bring a Safe Haven Baby Box to the fire station.

We are currently seeking donations to help make this lifesaving project a reality. If you or your organization would like to support our efforts, we would be grateful for your assistance.

In addition, Firefighter/Paramedic Walton is available to provide presentations explaining the Safe Haven Baby Box program, its impact, and the need for this resource in our community. He would be honored to speak with your:

• Fraternity or Sorority
• Church or Place of Worship
• Civic Organization
• Community Group
• Business or Workplace
• School or Educational Institution

Together, we can help protect vulnerable newborns and provide hope to parents facing a crisis.

For more information, to schedule a presentation, or to make a donation, please contact

One box can save a life.

The infant was found sleeping in a car seat. Police asked for the public's help identifying the baby and his family.

ST. LOUIS — Y’all showed OUT! 🔥

We want to give a HUGE thank you to everybody who pulled up and supported our community car wash fundraiser. The love was real, the energy was high, and we made some solid connections while having a great time doing it!

Major shoutout to the Rare Breed Motorcycle Club of St. Louis for sliding through and dropping off a check from their skating fundraiser last weekend — that’s real community support right there and we appreciate it heavy!

And we can’t forget our firefighters and paramedics who came out on their OFF DAY to put in work washing cars… that dedication doesn’t go unnoticed 💪🏽

This is what it looks like when a community comes together for a purpose. We’re getting closer to the goal because of ALL of you!
