Project Smile Inc

 

Project Smile is a non profit organization, dedicated to helping children. We donate stuffed animals, coloring books/crayons, small toys and children’s books to police and fire departments for police officers, fire fighters and paramedics to give to children in traumatic situations. Since our founding in October 2003, we have donated over 32,000 stuffed animals and work with 190 police and fire departments throughout New England, New Jersey, South Dakota, Texas, Illinois and other states. Many of the children who receive these items were involved in car accidents, witnessed domestic violence, are victims of child abuse or other violent crimes, coping with the loss of a loved one, or sick/injured. We also work with the Department of Children and Families to donate stuffed animals and other items for children entering foster care, many of whom have few, if any, personal possessions with them.  Project Smile also donates stuffed animals and other items for children who are living in homeless shelters.
