Designer Resource Center announces a partnership
with a Safe Haven for Newborns
Designer Resource Center (DRC) proudly announces their latest community outreach initiative, a strategic partnership with the esteemed non-profit organization, "A Safe Haven for Newborns." DRC's owners, Lope & Maria Mendoza stand firm in their belief
of corporate responsibility and to reflect that, a portion of their retail proceeds will now
go to "Safe Haven."
According to Nick Silvario, Founder of "Safe Haven," his adored non-profit serves as a "safety net for both mother in crisis and newborns." It allows mothers, fathers or whoever
is in possession of a newborn, approximately seven days old or less, to leave them with someone at a designated Safe Haven; any hospital, staffed fire rescue station, or staffed emergency medical service station in the State of Florida, with no questions asked, entirely anonymous and free from fear of prosecution. The hospital then contacts a participating private adoption agency who then arranges placement of the newborn
with a waiting family.
The resources that A Safe Haven for Newborns has been able to provide for mothers in crisis (ranging from teenagers to illegal immigrants) whilst protecting their identities, has proven an effective tool in preventing unnecessary deaths of newborns in the State of Florida. Over 170 babies have been rescued since the non-profit's founding in 2000.
