A Secret Safe Place for Newborns of Tennessee, Inc. works to raise awareness of Tennessee's
Safe Haven Law, which allows mothers to leave unharmed newborns at specified locations within 72 hours of the birth without risk of prosecution, after which the children can be adopted by others.
The Secret Safe Place organization currently needs:
Volunteers to distribute printed materials in communities across Tennessee
A volunteer to assist us with updating and making changes to our website (must live in Blount or surrounding county)
Sponsors for billboards in any county in Tennessee
You may contact them at 865-254-2208 if you are able to assist with these needs. They also accept donations online, and have information on starting local Secret Safe Place programs online as well.
