Members of the Lynn Police and Fire departments and representatives from the the city’s Department of Children and Families (DCF) office gathered last month to take part in a donation made possible by the Lynn GE Employees’ Good Neighbor Fund.
Janet Melanson, Walter Guptill and board members of the GE Employees’ Good Neighbor Fund helped to arrange the donation of dozens of “Trouble the Dog” plush toys and children’s books through Sheila Duncan, founder of the Kennek Foundation.
The city’s first responders and DCF workers will use the toys as a resource that provides comfort to children in the event of an accident, fire, domestic situation or other emergency.
