GREENVILLE TOWNSHIP — A township in Darke County has installed a Safe Haven Baby Box.
The box can be found at the Greenville Township Emergency Services building on Sater Street on the left side of the front entrance door, according to a social media post.
The box is climate-controlled, allowing parents to safely surrender their newborns without being seen.
