WB Jon D. Hinthorne (Joined Masonry in 2015 & Past Master Delta Lodge 2019-2022) and WB Toby Reed (Joined Masonry in 1981 & Past Master of Palestine Lodge (Now Wm. Sutton Lodge) 1990, 2003, 2004.) from the Grand Jurisdiction of Massachusetts join Greg, Bill and Darin to discuss Project Delta. Project Delta has an objective of providing comfort kits (small bags containing stuffed animals) to first responders to give to children who may be dealing with trauma stemming from the crisis situation to which the first responders are responding to. All too often Police, Fire, and EMS respond to calls where children are in the middle of an unpleasant situation. The program can allow these first responders to comfort the child or children involved in the incident and help to redirect their attention away from what they are going through at that moment by giving them a stuffed animal. If you are interested in helping to bring Project Delta to your lodge or jurisdiction, you can reach out to WB Jon Hinthorne at Jhinthorne@deltalodgeafam.org or Projectdelta@deltalodgeafam.org.
