Salvation Army Caldwell Corps/ Baby Haven diapers & educational classes

Building Healthy Families

Baby Haven is an inspiring ministry provided by The Salvation Army in Caldwell. It is an incentive-based program for low income families who are either expecting a child or have a child under 24 months old. Baby Haven is not about giving handouts; rather, it is about changing lives by helping parents set goals that promote healthy families. For achieving these goals, the families are rewarded with resources for their infants like formula, diapers, clothing, etc. Baby Haven has special guests come in and teach on issues ranging from nutritional health to budgeting. They provide classes in both English and Spanish.

One in three families in Idaho struggle to afford diapers for their children. The Baby Needs Ministry supplies struggling families with diapers, wipes, & formula for their infants and small children. Open Monday and Wednesday's 1:00pm-4:30pm.  Available once per month, per family.

Helping parents with their car seats can be a huge task for yourself or your staff when parents come with lots of questions. Research shows that almost 90% of car seats are not installed correctly. With over 100 different car models and dozens of car seats, this is a challenge to ensure that the right seat is being used in the right way for the right size child.

Community Action Agencies are private non-profit or public organizations that were created by the federal government in 1964 to combat poverty in geographically designated areas. Status as a Community Action Agency is the result of an explicit designation by local or state government.

A Community Action Agency has a tripartite board structure that is designated to promote the participation of the entire community in the reduction or elimination of poverty.

Community Action Agencies seek to involve the community, including elected public officials private sector representatives, and especially low-income residents, in assessing local needs and attacking the causes and conditions of poverty.

Residential Programs

Emergency Housing

The Salvation Army Community Family Shelter provides rooms for families and single women who need a temporary place to stay to help them overcome homelessness by giving them time to save money and find housing. This program provides housing for up to 90 days.

Transitional Housing

The Salvation Army Community Family Shelter also provides rooms for families and single women who need longer than 90 days to get back on their feet. This program is designed for people who are pursuing education, paying off significant debts, or who have other reasons that make it impossible for them to become self-sufficient in 90 days or less. This program requires a program fee that is put into a savings account for the client. Upon successful completion of the program, the money that the client saved will be paid towards housing deposits or rent.

Case Management

Both the emergency and transitional housing programs provide weekly case management for every family and single woman. During case management, weekly goals are set by identifying and utilizing client's strengths to overcome homelessness such as saving money, finding employment, and finding housing. Case management is also used as a means to keep families and women accountable in the program.

Social Skills Groups

Both emergency and transitional housing programs provide a weekly social skills group which is facilitated by Families, Etc.

Emergency service personnel across Idaho have a tool available to help identify small children involved in motor vehicle crashes. The WHALE program "We Have A Little Emergency" provides instant identification of a child in a car safety seat in the event that an adult in the car is injured and unable to talk.

The WHALE identification card gives emergency personnel information to identify young children involved in a crash. Sometimes just knowing a child's name can help rescue workers comfort young patients. Rescue workers can refer to an identification card attached to the safety seat and find the child's name, medical information and who to contact in case of emergency. Stickers affixed to car windows and the safety seat also alert emergency workers that the child's information is close at hand.
