County accepts donation of 30 portable cribs to support safe sleep program
Summary
Sedgwick County Health Department will receive 30 portable cribs (approximate value $2,500) from Kids Network to distribute to families in need as part of the Healthy Babies safe sleep initiative and upcoming community baby shower events.
Deputy County Manager Tim Kaufman presented a donation from the Kansas Infant Death and SIDS Network/Kids Network: 30 portable cribs valued at about $2,500, purchased with Safe Kids Kansas funding, to be distributed directly by the Sedgwick County Health Department to families identified through programs and community partners. Kaufman described the donation as targeting high‑risk counties and supporting safe‑sleep education and distribution efforts.
Commissioners thanked the donors and staff; the board authorized the chair to accept the donation and sign a letter of appreciation. Kaufman said the department had already distributed 135 cribs earlier in the year and plans another community baby shower on Oct. 11 at the East 9th health department location.
