A newborn baby was surrendered to the Safe Haven Baby Box in Racine, Wisconsin, near Washington and Lathrop Avenues, around 12:15 p.m., on October 16, 2025. This is the first time a mother used a Safe Haven Baby Box in the state, explained the Racine Fire Department.
However, thanks to efforts by the Racine Fire Department, Racine Knights of Columbus, Council 15659, Pro-Life Wisconsin, and Wisconsin Right to Life, the first Safe Haven Baby Box located on the outside of Racine’s Fire Station 4, 3829 Washington Ave., Racine, WI, will serve as a secure place where a parent can safely and anonymously place their newborn.
