AVRE is proud to announce that we have shipped over 10,000 cribs in support of the New York State Safe Sleep initiative. Through our collaboration with Cribs for Kids® and support from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), we have provided Cribettes—portable, safe sleep environments designed to reduce sleep-related infant deaths—to families across the state.
This milestone demonstrates AVRE’s dedication to equipping families across New York State with life-saving resources. By aligning with the New York State Department of Health’s initiative to promote safe sleep practices, we are helping protect the most vulnerable members of our communities.
Shipping 10,000 cribs reflects the impact of AVRE's efforts and our commitment to creating safer environments for infants. We look forward to continuing its collaboration with Cribs for Kids and OCFS to support this critical initiative.
