What a beautiful and historic morning for Henry County—and for the protection of life in Georgia!
Today, our community gathered to bless the first Safe Haven Baby Box in the state of Georgia, located right here in Henry County. This box will offer a safe, confidential, and compassionate option for a mother in crisis while protecting the precious life of her baby.
We were joined by community members, state and local legislators, fire department leadership, national Safe Haven advocates, and Pastor Benny Tate, who led a powerful prayer of blessing.
We are especially grateful for Stockbridge Community Church, whose generous donation made this life-saving resource possible, and for every person who worked to bring it to our community.
The Bridge Wellness South’s Executive Director, Sonja Hegwood, was honored to attend and witness this meaningful moment. May this Safe Haven Baby Box always stand as a reminder that every life is precious, help is available, and no mother has to face a crisis alone.
