This evening, George H. Taber A.F. & A.M. Masonic Lodge had the honor and privilege to welcome both Fairhaven's Police Chief Daniel M. Dorgan and Fire Chief Todd Correia in order to provide them several comfort kits from Project Delta Boston.
Project Delta, located in Braintree, MA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) program designed and operated by Freemasons, their families, and supporters.
Project Delta is a program designed to provide First Responders in the Police, Fire, and EMS departments with stuffed animals for kids in crisis situations.
Over 3,000 kits with 12,000 bears have been delivered to First Responders across the United States. They are in twelve States including Hawaii and the territory of Puerto Rico.
Each responder that requests a "kit", will be given a drawstring backpack containing 5 or more plush stuffed animals.
Each drawstring bag can be used as an emergency carry-all for a child's belongings, should the need arise.
The idea of Project Delta was borne out of its Founder having an excess of stuffed animals due to his autistic son's uncanny ability to beat what is commonly known as the Crane (Claw) Game. It requires a tremendous amount of skill to win at these games, because the animals are typically positioned in a such a way that they are stacked on top of each other or buried under each other. Having mastered the game, his son soon found himself with an excess of these animals. Out of this excess, Project Delta was born.
