Safe Haven Baby BOxes

The Rock Creek Fire District and the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office are proud to partner on an important effort to bring the first Safe Haven Baby Box to Idaho’s Magic Valley region. In 2024, Idaho authorized the use of newborn safety devices, allowing parents in crisis to safely and anonymously surrender an unharmed newborn at an approved location. Although Idaho now has boxes in Blackfoot, Sandpoint, and Weiser, none are located in the Magic Valley, leaving many area residents more than two hours from the nearest option. By bringing a Safe Haven Baby Box to our community, we can provide a secure, compassionate, and potentially life-saving resource for vulnerable infants and parents who may feel they have nowhere else to turn. This partnership represents a shared commitment to protecting children, supporting families in crisis, and ensuring that distance is never a barrier to saving a newborn’s life.
