This week's pictures - MORE THAN ONE MILLION HUGS!!! shipped to troops since June 2004 more than 678 TONS of care package items since Jan. 2005. over 5,000 Christmas boxes were sent overseas this year. We’ve done so much but there is so much more to do…Happy Hugging Everyone!!! 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 American civilian to know we support their mission to protect our freedoms and 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".
