SUMMARY: The first baby box has been installed at the Muscle Shoals Fire Station, allowing mothers to safely and anonymously relinquish their babies without questions asked. Local representatives emphasize this as a crucial investment for the community. Located on Old Highway 20, the box aims to save lives, with hopes it will never be needed. This marks the 10th baby box in Alabama, and it will officially open for use next Friday. The initiative reflects a commitment to infant safety and support for mothers in crisis situations.

The very first baby box was installed at the Muscle Shoals Fire Station 4 this week.
