Hero Kits

“Wearing my heart pin and handing a child Benny, who carries the same heart, creates an instant connection. In a moment of fear or uncertainty, it helps them know I am there to help, support, and care for them.”

— Lisa, Department of Children and Families Supervisor

  • “These Hero Kits provide more than comfort and compassion — they create connection. They’re designed to give officers the tools to step in as heroes during life’s challenging moments, while also giving children the chance to feel like the hero of their own story. When a child hugs their Benny bear or flips through their coloring book, it’s not just about distraction — it’s about reminding them they are seen, valued, and never alone. That’s the real power of these kits.”

    Jake Christenson, Naples PD Community Service Officer

  • “I’ve always wanted the Naples Police Department to have resources available for our officers in the middle of the night. I shared the idea with Faith, and before I knew it, a Crisis Closet was standing proudly in our roll call room. Thank you for walking alongside our department and serving our community with us.”
