🚨 We Need Your Help: Sponsorship for a Safe Haven Baby Box in Rockcastle County 🚨 Since 2022, the Rockcastle County FCCLA has been tirelessly working to bring a Safe Haven Baby Box to our community—a safe, anonymous place for parents in crisis to leave their newborns in a secure environment. We're so close to making this a reality, but due to rising costs, we’re currently short just $6,000 for the box and installation. This is where YOU can make a difference! We’re seeking generous sponsors to help us reach our goal. Together, we can ensure that no one in Rockcastle County has to make the impossible choice of unsafe alternatives when facing a crisis. How you can help: Monetary Donations: Every dollar counts! Sponsorship Opportunities: We welcome businesses and organizations to contribute. Spread the Word: Share this post with your network to help us reach our goal! Let’s work together to make Rockcastle County a safer place for our most vulnerable. To contribute or learn more, please contact Tammy.camel2@rockcastle kyschools.us or call the high school at 606-256-4816.
