First Responders from Wilmington Police Department Receive Kits4Kids
On July 17th, Wilmington Police Department First Responders gathered to assemble Kits4Kids. Thanks to the generous donation of Samet Corporation, officers worked together to support the community by equipping themselves with special kits for kids. These kits help officers make children feel more comfortable and at ease during difficult times, which is crucial for building trust and rapport with the community.
The Kits4Kids program is essential for providing children with the support and resources they need to thrive, even during times of stress and trauma. The First Responder Kits4Kids, meticulously crafted to equip First Responders with a powerful arsenal of tools, are not just objects but immediate sources of relief. As soon as First Responders arrive at a service call where children are present, they can deploy these kits, instantly making a positive difference in the lives of these children. This immediate impact is a testament to the effectiveness of the program and the shared commitment to the well-being of our community's children.
"As President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, I am proud to support the Kits 4 Kids initiative. These kits have the potential to lessen children's traumatic experiences during encounters with law enforcement, redirecting the focus of the moment toward a positive exchange. We at NOBLE are committed to working with organizations that better our communities, and we believe these kits will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children we serve." Rodney Braynt, NOBLE President.
Each Kit4Kids is a unique collection of activities meticulously chosen to cater to a wide range of interests and needs. It features a Playtime Disposable Play Pad, offering over 25 engaging activities and providing a clean and safe surface for children to play on. The Kit4Kids also includes a set of vibrant crayons to spark creativit
