Community, CJ First Candle, Delta Children, the Global Infant Safe Sleep Center and a host of partners offered a free infant safe sleep workshop and gave away more than 100 cribs in recognition of Mother’s Day. Parents, grandparents, and other family members from Detroit (Wayne County), Macomb and Oakland counties attended the event.

The morning was all about keeping our babies safe — placing babies on their backs at sleep time, the benefits of breast feeding, and how to create a safe sleep environment.
