The Texarkana Emergency Center and Hospital now offers a Safe Haven Baby Box as part of its commitment to community health and safety. For parents facing a crisis pregnancy or struggling with the decision to parent, this resource provides a compassionate path forward.
The box operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Parents can access it anonymously at any time without fear of legal con-sequences. Additionally, the Safe Haven Baby Boxes organization operates a hotline for parents who wish to surrender their infant or need support and guidance.
The presence of Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Texarkana represents more than infrastructure. It reflects the community’s values of compassion, safety, and support for families in crisis. Whether a parent is struggling with postpartum depression, financial hardship, or overwhelming life circumstances, this service provides an option that protects the baby and respects the parent’s difficult decision.
