SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2018 | 3A G ENERAL N EWS 90 by 30 to deliver first ‘Welcome Baby Boxes’ Lane County’s 90 by 30 Child Abuse Prevention Project operates on the belief that communities can reduce abuse and neglect by im- plementing protective strategies to provide social, emotional and edu- cational support to families as they embark on the adventure of parent- ing. West Lane 90 by 30 is just now im- plementing a strategy that serves this purpose. This week, 90 by 30 team members and Healthy Families staff will deliv- er the first of many “Welcome Baby Boxes.” This internationally recog- nized program tells new parents that there is a whole community who cares about them and their baby. 90 by 30 hopes to deliver a box to the families of each and every new baby in the region, including Flor- ence, Mapleton, Swisshome, Dead- wood, Westlake and Dunes City. The box, which can serve as a safe sleep space for newborns for their first few months, is filled with a vari- ety of practical items and a valuable resource binder with health and safe- ty information and local resources. Also included is a DVD called “Pe- riod of Purple Crying” and a purple hat for babies, which informs parents about strategies to calm babies and ESTATE SALE 8/10-11, 9am to 3pm Florentine Estates - enter at Munsel Lake Rd. gate only.
