Robert Grimm Family Foundation
Without the generous support of Kari Anderson, Founder of Robert Grimm Family Foundation, the mission of the Sleepy Baby Box Foundation would not be possible! Since April 2017, Kari and her foundation, has been an instrumental catalyst in helping the Sleepy Baby Box Foundation achieve our goal of opening our first location in downtown, Bakersfield.
