Concord Police Department Receives Generous Donation

Police Department receives donation from NH Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities and The Kennek Foundation

Thanks to the ongoing successful partnership between the New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities and The Kennek Foundation, Trouble the Dog plush toys were recently donated to the Concord Police Department. Speedway Children’s Charities and The Kennek Foundation have missions that align – helping children in need. The Kennek Foundation provides a source of comfort to children through the character they created - Trouble the Dog. The plush toy dogs and illustrated storybooks bring messages of love and hope. The plush version of Trouble the Dog was also created to provide a source of immediate comfort to children in crisis. The Kennek Foundation and Trouble the Dog have helped hundreds of First Responders in Massachusetts and New Hampshire to soothe children in the event of an accident, fire or other emergency.

Taking part in the donation are L to R: Sheila Duncan, founder, The Kennek Foundation, Concord Police Lieutenant Steven Smagula, Deputy Chief Keith Mitchell, Lieutenant Barrett Moulton, and Hillarie Scott, Assistant Director, the New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities.
