Saugus William-Sutton Lodge and Project Delta provides stuffed animals to children in Revere Police care

By Tara Vocino

Project Delta teamed up with the Revere Police Department and the Saugus William-Sutton Lodge to provide stuffed animals to children as a way to take a breather last Thursday afternoon at the Revere Police Station.

According to Project Delta Vice President Mark AuBuchon, Project Delta is a program designed to help First Responders provide comfort to kids in crisis.

The idea of the program is to provide any First Responder wishing to partake in the program, a “kit” that contains 3 to 5 stuffed animals and a drawstring bag that can be used to not only house these items but also, in case of emergency removal, provide the child with a carry-all for any personal property.

The content of these “kits” can be given out at the First Responders’ discretion.

There is no cost to the responders, and kits can be replenished with a simple email to projectdelta@deltalodgeafam.org.

This is not just a Delta Lodge program but a program designed and supported by Freemasons. Saugus and Malden Police Departments partake in the program, and it will be coming to the Everett Police Department next year.
