Two Yuma fire stations unveil Safe Haven Baby Boxes

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Safe Haven Baby Boxes and the City of Yuma are holding a ceremony Tuesday to unveil two new baby boxes.

The ceremony is taking place at Rural Metro Fire Stations #2 and #5, located at 10820 S. Hensley Blvd, and the boxes are for parents to safely surrender their infant.

The boxes are climate controlled and automatically notifies 911 when an infant is placed. Each location will be staffed 24/7.

In addition, the locations are said to be the 454th and 455th baby boxes in the nation, as well as the second and third in Arizona.

Monica Kelsey, Safe Haven Baby Boxes Founder, shared, "We are the only organization providing complete anonymity and we want these mothers to know we are there for them and their infant before and following a surrender."

This comes after Baby Sonny was found abandoned in a trash can near a Yuma hotel on May 1, 2025.
