The Hugs Project provides such needed supplies to our troops overseas but they provide much more than that. They send a message to our troops that we support them and recognize their sacrifices and efforts. The soldiers leave their loved ones, their homes and sometimes their jobs to fight for what we believe in. They need to know we care. I began supporting this project because my husband's son was killed in Iraq and we wanted the troops to know that people here understand their sacrifice, sometimes with their life.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The Hugs Project sent a care package to a marine that I sent them his information. HIs mother is a very good friend of mine and she said he was amazed at the quantity of items he received. He was able to share these items with his team.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
This organization functions on volunteers and donations and somehow pulls it all together working tirelessly. I wish they could find a permanent income source so they could concentrate more on supporting the troops than trying to find money.
MY ROLE:
Donor & I support with a regular donation and have volunteered at the site.
