‘Babies Need Boxes’ Helps At-Risk Mothers

The new non-profit called “Babies Need Boxes,” delivered newborn supplies to at-risk mothers this week. 

In all, seven boxes were given to an early childhood center in Duluth.

The non-profit has significantly grown since starting up in January.

The content of the boxes includes a mattress and essential newborn supplies.

“We’ve created about 35 in 2016 through local donations and fundraisers,” said Laura Bixler, a volunteer.

The mattress fits within the box to act as a temporary bed for a baby.
