When children experience traumatic events, even the smallest act of comfort can make a big difference.
The Walmart Supercenter on Wedgewood Lane recently donated Bexley Boxes to the Lady Lake Police Department. These special comfort kits are filled with essentials such as blankets, stuffed animals, snacks, diapers, wipes, toys and other items to help care for children during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
The Bexley Box program was inspired by the experience of a young child who witnessed the tragic loss of her father, leading to a statewide effort to ensure first responders have the resources needed to comfort children in crisis.
Thanks to Walmart’s partnership with the Bridegan Foundation, law enforcement agencies across Florida—including the Lady Lake Police Department—now have these valuable tools available when they are needed most.
