Special Project Challenge

In November, Family & Children’s Center received a $15,000 Special Project Challenge Grant from the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County. This grant will be used to help ensure safer sleep habits in homes. FCC will work to enhance sleep safety among babies born in St. Joseph County by offering free Baby Boxes for infants to sleep in during their first six months of life.  Baby Boxes provide parents a safe alternative where baby can sleep, nap or rest when parents are busy or sleeping. Baby Boxes give new parents the ability to have baby close by without the dangers of bed sharing and other unsafe sleep practices.
​
Family & Children’s Center has one year to raise matching funds for this grant. The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County offers the Special Project Challenge Grant to assist public and other 501(c)(3) agencies in their efforts to serve community needs. For every $1 raised by the chosen agency, the Community Foundation will match $1.

This activity made possible, in part, with support from the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County.
