US Hugs From Home
Area citizens who want to show our appreciation to the men and women of the American Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan established HUGS FROM HOME in January 2007.
OUR MISSION: We are a NON PARTISAN, loosely knit group who want to let our Troops, know that they have not been forgotten. Recognizing that these men and women are our friends, neighbours, and family, we wish to send them items from home that reflect our support, and to remind them of what they will return to.
Whether you like it, hate it, want it, or not, there are American men and women; members of the United States Military working to bring about changes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of them will find themselves in need of a moment’s distraction and the thought that there are people back home who appreciate the personal hardship and risk they put themselves through daily. Imagine the pleasant surprise when mail-call includes a box filled with the little things that military life requires them to do without!
US Hugs From Home has been sending 50 pound boxes, filled with comfort items on the 15th of each month since January 15, 2007. We will continue sending US HUGS FROM HOME packages until all our sons and daughters are home.
Local businesses and individuals donate the cost of shipping and YOU fill the DROP BOXES with US Hugs From Home comfort items. We operate on the philosophy that many people pitching in a few items per month, every month, means full to overflowing drop boxes...
Everyone claims to “support the Troops”, but what have YOU done, I mean actually done to support the troops? Well here is your opportunity to put your words into action.
Teachers, Clergy, Scouts, Business People, Individuals, Clubs..., WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Special Thanks
