The baby box is a climate-controlled safety device that legally permits a mother in crisis to surrender her unwanted newborn safely, securely, and anonymously. Crestview officials conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the box in October.
Pictured with the replica check are (L-R) Knights Chancellor and Life Director Dan Lesh, Mayor J.B. Whitten, baby box-initiative leader and former City Councilor Cynthia Brown, and Grand Knight Marty Mears.
Behind the dais stand (L-R) City Councilors Dusty Allison, Ryan Bullard, Shannon Hayes, Brandon Frost and Doug Capps, City Clerk Maryanne Girard, City Manager Tim Bolduc, and City Attorney Jon Holloway.
