Founded in 2003, Project Smile is a federally tax exempt non-profit organization dedicated to helping people in need through 2 signature programs: Suits & Smiles and Smiles for Children.

Smiles for Children donates stuffed animals, coloring books/crayons and children's reading books for police officers, fire fighters and paramedics to give to children. Project Smile has collected over 44,000 stuffed animals and donated to 200 police and fire departments across the country. 

Smiles for Children also partners with homeless shelters and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families by donating stuffed animals, coloring books/crayons and reading books for children entering foster care or living in shelters in the Commonwealth. There are currently 7,000 children entering foster care in Massachusetts annually, most of whom with few, if any, personal possessions. A gift of a stuffed animal offers these children, who have been involved in very painful circumstances, a source of comfort.

Why do emergency responders need stuffed animals? They give them to children who are
Accident victims
Victims of abuse or other crimes
Witnesses to a crime
Experiencing a traumatic event
Coping with loss
Sick and/or injured
