Totals - 393,359 "Hugs" 74,538
"Kisses" shipped to troops since June 2004 and more than 106 TONS of care package items since Jan. 2005. The Hugs Project is committed to improving life for our dedicated U.S. Military.
Our "mission" is to give a "hug" (handmade items for warmth or cooling depending on season) to every American serving in the Middle East. We want every deployed troop and American civilian to know we support their mission to protect our freedoms & to provide freedom to the people of the Middle East. This is our way of saying "Thank you, we appreciate you for the difficult job you do".
Our main troop emphasis right now is writing LOTS of letters and making hugs and kisses.
If anyone browsing the site would like to help us meet the needs of our outstanding troops (and civilians) in harm's way, please contact Karen at thehugsproject(at)cox.net for ideas about how you can help. We hope you will consider participating in our present and in their future.
This week's picture - Our troops have told us that it's already over 115 degrees and they are suffering in the heat. We need your help to make sure none of them die of heat stroke this summer.
