Frightened mothers are protected by Indiana's Safe Haven Law - a law that allows mothers to safely surrender their baby within 45 days of birth to the care of a hospital, fire station or a police station.

As we reflect on 2008, we are graciously reminded of the kindness across the state. On behalf of everyone at The Villages we thank the many generous businesses, organizations and individuals who share the spirit of the holidays with our children and families. 
The Villages’ family has been very fortunate to have Coach Tony Dungy serve as a Champion for Children and our spokesperson for the past three years. In 2005, when we first approached Coach Dungy, nobody could have predicted the phenomenal impact that having him as our spokesperson would make on the recruitment efforts of The Villages.
