Cribs for Kids + HJM Foundation

The Hazel Joy Memorial Foundation is proud to announce its partnership with Cribs for Kids National Safe Sleep Initiative, a non-profit organization that aims to help every baby sleep safer. This partnership underscores our commitment to promoting safe sleep practices for infants to help reduce the number of infant mortalities due to Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID.)

 

Cribs for Kids National Safe Sleep Initiative provides preventative programming, safe sleep  education, and safe infant products to families, healthcare professionals, and community organizations. Since its inception, Cribs for Kids has distributed over 900,000 no-cost cribs to families in need.

 

Sleep-related deaths result in the loss of thousands of infants every year in the United States. Research indicates the vast majority are accidental and are due to babies sleeping in unsafe environments. The Hazel Joy Memorial Foundation wants to teach parents and caregivers that the safest way for a baby to sleep is alone, on their back, in a bare, safety-approved crib. In addition to educational tools, qualifying families will receive safe, portable cribs if they cannot otherwise afford one.

​

 The Hazel Joy Memorial Foundation recognizes the importance of providing education, support, and resources to help parents and caregivers adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics' safe sleep guidelines. By partnering with Cribs for Kids, we can expand our reach and provide more families with the necessary tools to keep their infants safe while sleeping. We are excited to positively impact infant health and safety by implementing these life-saving programs in our community.
