What a fantastic mission Sojihuggles has. Little do we know how many children go hungry right under our nose. I became a volunteer last year and found Sojihuggles to be one of the best non-profits. It is also very satisfying that 100% of every dollars goes directly to children in need.
T Love, Founder of Sojihuggles Children's Foundation, is a champion above and beyond. She has worked tirelessly to help the children of Sussex County. She has gotten them eye exams, paid off school lunch accounts. coats and shoes for winter, school supplies, and reading them the children's books she wrote.
Whenever someone was in need, she would be there for them. I feel she will work tireless for many years to come.
I know she would welcome any support she could get, and our community respects her greatly.
Thank you for your time and consideration in all her efforts to fight for those who don't have a voice.
I recently had the honor of meeting T Love, hearing her story and experiencing her passion. Under her guidance, Sojiguggles recognizes the needs of the children in our community... the things that aren’t otherwise being taken care of. She truly fills in all the gaps. But even more amazingly, she understands the mindset of children- those she’s helping AND those that the underprivileged children encounter on a daily basis. She takes that understanding and ensures that what she provides for the kids is of a quality that makes the kids feel EQUAL to the others around them, without worrying about being teased. She has long term goals for these children, not short term fixes.... like providing dental care instead of pain killers that could lead to addiction. Everything she does is so beautifully thought out and executed. If she has an opportunity to help, she will find a way to do it! This Foundation is so important and has done so much good in a short amount of time. With the love that is connected to it, it will continue to thrive and I can’t wait to see all that T and her team will continue to do. It is a pleasure to work with T and an absolute honor to be able to help her cause.
I am a proud supporter of Sojihuggles under the direction of TLove! Her compassion, integrity and life experience has been amazing to see her grow this organization with her fundraising efforts! She recognizes the needs the children in our community sometimes go with out...school supplies, food, clothing and more! With her perseverance and networking she gives back 100% to the children! Cannot wait to see what the future holds for this organization and TLove’s efforts!
I work in a school where Sojihuggles provides assistance to our families. The dedication that this organization has to helping individuals/families/schools is above and beyond. Seeing the number of students that benefit from the generosity as well as the level of assistance provided is unbelievable. The organization secures assistance to all students without any criteria needing to be met,which allows for zero families to "fall through the cracks". I cannot say enough positive things about this organization.
Sojihuggles is an organization I am proud to associate with. The tireless efforts of T Love have a direct impact on the children in our community. Many of these children would go without basic necessities that many of us are unaware of. She tirelessly fund raises and gives 100% back to the children and families in need. From school lunches, to school supplies and warm coats, the efforts of T Love are extraordinary. She is a woman of character and integrity and her devotion to Sojihuggles is endless. ~ M. C.
Sojihuggles Childrens' Foundation is a vital organization in this county. I understand what it is like to be a child living in poverty, and the good that Sojihuggles does touches my heart to its core. The impact of what this organization provides has changed lives overwhelmingly for the better and will continue to do so. Sojihuggles fills the gaps that other organizations create, and the founder, T Love, works with nothing but passion, joy, and yes... love in her heart for the underprivileged children in our community.
I met Sojihuggles through the Sussex County Chamber of Commerce. I'm amazed with the energy its founder, T Love, has for helping children within our county. Every single penny raised helps a child in need. This is near and dear to my heart as I remember being in need, and only once in my childhood did I receive a Christmas gift. I received a brand new robe that was donated. It means the world to a child to be treated kindly. Sojihuggles coordinates shoe drives, clothing drives, provides school lunches for children in need, backpacks for school, and so much more. They constantly come up with ideas to aid children, but more than anything, what makes them remarkable is one word: KINDNESS. Period.
Sojihuggles Children's Foundation has been operating in Sussex County for a few years now and it seems like every year they somehow find a way to help more kids in need. Soji provides a wide range of services, like providing free school lunches, warm winter coats, diapers, Epi-pens, arranging for free dental care, eye exams and glasses. All things that growing kids need, but unfortunately parents cannot always afford. One of the things that strikes me most about the foundation is that it is 100% volunteer, none of the donations go to salaries, advertising or any other business expenses. Instead, all of the proceeds go to helping the kids! I don't think there are many non-profits that can say the same. The founder, T Love, works tirelessly to make the foundation a continued success, devoting her personal time and energy to arrange fund raising events and search out ways to try to make life better for the kids of Sussex County. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to donate to such a good cause.
This nonprofit has been an awesome partner to the Newton Board of Education and the students we serve. Sojihuggles has been a strong supporter of our reduced breakfast and lunch program. For all of the students who are needy, but their families do not qualify for free breakfast and lunch, Sojihuggles offsets the cost of breakfast and lunch for all of these students, to the tune of thousands of dollars per year. Over the last two years donations have totaled more than $7,500, providing free breakfast and lunch to hundreds of students who might not be able to afford even the reduced price meals. This foundation is helping curb the childhood hunger epidemic in one small part of the world and we are thankful for their support.
T Love does a tremendous job with this Foundation. Her dedication and commitment is extraordinary. She truly cares about all these children and doesn't want any child left behind. If she could make a difference in each and every life, she certainly would!
As a school social worker it can be a constant challenge to meet the needs of our children. As the winter months approached, we were concerned about our students lack of warm clothing. Sojihuggles Children's Foundation met with us personally and discussed the unique needs of our children. As a result many of our students received a warm winter coat, hat and gloves! The coats they received were of high quality, Sojihuggles delivered coats that were individualized (size and gender) to the children that were identified. We are so fortunate to be working with Sojihuggles Children's Foundation.
I have the wonderful privilege of being one of the volunteers working through Sojihuggles. Over the past years we have grown tremendously as a foundation, providing underrepresented children in our communities with daily necessities. Toiletry bags, haircut services, and eye exams are among many other things that we have provided these children with this far. Sojihuggles takes a community approach to helping children in need by communication through volunteers, community members, schools, and local organizations. What a great foundation to be a part of!
Sojihuggles makes lives better. From food supports to connecting families in need to services that improve quality of life, this non profit fulfills its mission, serving as a reliable and compassionate network of care.
Sojihuggles has done so much for our school district! From health bags to school supplies, to helping provide lunch for those students on the fringe of the national school lunch program income guidelines. Their personnel are wonderful to work with. This is a foundation worth supporting if you are one of those with the opportunity to do so!
I choose to support Sojihuggles because I know the people running it are authentic, truly care about their mission to serve and help and 100% volunteer. I trust that each donation is going directly to helping the children in our area.
Ms. Love at Sojihuggles has graciously worked with our district (Hopatcong Borough Schools) to provide our socio-economically disadvantaged students with the materials they need. Through Sojihuggles, we have been able to provide food, clothing and household items to meet the needs of our students. Ms. Love is a delight to work with and she truly cares about improving the lives of children.
I am a School Nurse at an Elementary School that has benifitted from Sojihuggles Childrens Foundation on several occassions. They have helped many families in our school, providing new sneakers in the Spring and new coats in the Fall for those in need of assistance. Sojihuggles have also offered to help pay off children's lunch charges and provide eye exams if needed. Ms. Love and her foundation are dedicated to serving all children in need. We are lucky to have such a wonderful organization in our community!
I am a principal at a school that has benefitted from Sojihuggles Children's Foundation. From paying students' overdue lunch accounts, to setting up payment for eye exams and glasses, Sojihuggles has been a wonderful support to our families in need!
I am a school employee and connected with Ms. Love when she reached out to see how she could help the children in my school. There are so many students in need these days and we are so lucky to have met her and the generous support she and her foundation have provided to the children in our school. Sojiguggles has funded eye exams, purchased glasses, paid school lunch accounts, and purchased clothing for students in need. Thank you Sojihuggles. We are lucky to have you here in Sussex County.
I got involved with this organization helping out with school items for children that could not afford them, and selling 50/50 tickets for the holidays. It was lots of fun to help out and give back to the community. I know that all the money that is being donated, and well as items being donated are all going to the children, and none of the money is going in anyones pockets. that is what makes this organization stand out, knowing that it all goes to the children in need. Its a wonderful thing that Sojihuggles is doing.....keep up the good work
Ms. Love and the Sojihuggles Children's Foundation are fantastic! Ms. Love came to present to the entire 2nd grade. Her mission is absolutely selfless. She wants the best for every individual out there.
I have been working with SOJIHUGGLES for the past year and I have to say - there is not another community organization more committed and dedicated to helping under privileged children. Their willingness to go above and beyond and provide families/children with their all that they need is not only remarkable but has helped decrease the number of maltreated children in the community. SOJIHUGGLES and its board numbers should be recognized and commended for the positive difference they have made in the community and in the lives of the children/families they serve. Simply put - it is an A+ foundation!!
What a wonderful organization Sojihuggles Childrens Foundation is to work with. We have been able to give children in need toiletry items through our food pantry they would not normally receive and items for Christmas stockings for children here in Sussex County because of Sojihuggles. Members of the Board have also
helped with their own money in helping provide coats for children for Christmas and birthday bags for children in our food pantry program. I love that all their money and resources go directly to children in need. It is a pleasure to work with this new organization!
Sojhuggles is a 100% volunteer organization, and all the money that comes in goes right to help the Children that need it. An organization like this mean so much to these children. Every Child deserves to have there every day needs met without having to worry about it. This is what Sojihuggles does! Not only does Sojihuggles provide them the items they need , but gives them hope!
I am not only a volunteer and donor for Soji, I am also a member of the advisory board.
Knowing this this foundation is 100% volunteer run means I get to see first hand where our efforts are going. The hours spent pitching in with this organization, through brainstorming, planning, or working events are some of the best hours of each month.
It is a pleasure to be part of such a meaningful foundation.
I am lucky enough to help Sojihuggles get donations right to the children that need it. Working for a local food pantry, we have identified families with children right in the area that need help in so many ways. With the help of Sojihuggles, we can provide these children with the food and other necessities that help them stay healthy both physically and mentally. We are excited to be able to provide Kid-friendly foods, school supplies, holiday treats, etc. It is a joy to be able to see and feel the gratitude of both the parents and the children when they come to pick up their items! I wish that all donors to the organization could see their faces and get their hugs of gratitude!
I have chosen to donate to Sojihuggles Children’s Foundation for a number of reasons. The foundation is run by volunteers and ALL money goes to help children who live locally. The help being given has been carefully chosen to fill a void – for example, eye exams and glasses, diapers, vouchers to a Laundromat and lunches for those in need but not eligible for free lunches. I encourage others to donate to this worthy cause.
Every child deserves healthy food, clean clothing and the best chance for a successful future. But too many children, even right here in Sussex County, N.J., aren’t getting the necessities they need.
Sojihuggles Children’s Foundation is doing its part to help these children in need. Sojihuggles, a 501(c) (3) organization donates 100% of its proceeds to causes and activities worthy of these funds, truly changing the way our children live. Whether it is donating food to a local pantry so no child goes hungry, or providing diapers, pajamas or coats to our children who are walking around in the middle of winter without coats on their backs, Sojihuggles is doing all it can to improve the quality of life for these children and their families. The organization not only provides these important items but is helping to improve their self-confidence, attendance and acceptance at school, and improving their overall wellness and wellbeing.
I am pleased to serve as a volunteer for this organization and I find great comfort knowing that the children in need in Sussex County are being helped in some way. I believe that true kindness lies within the act of giving and without the expectation of something in return. Sojihuggles Children’s Foundation does just that.
The Foundation’s Founder has put her heart, soul and own money into establishing this foundation and is doing everything she can to build and grow it. She is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our children and she has already made an impact.
Integrity, compassion and accountability are hallmarks of this organization and it is a true charity! I could never fully say enough about all the good they are doing to help underprivileged children: food, clothing, toiletries, eye glasses and exams, backpacks, school supplies, the list goes on! This is an organization that strengthens belief in humanity. Their newsletter is named the 100% Effect for a reason, It’s the real deal. 100% of every donation goes directly to children in need. This charity is run by volunteers, no one collects a paycheck or a monetary gift. No one. This is a great charity doing really great things.
The Sojihuggles Childrens Foundation is a wonderful somewhat new foundation which I find to be very refreshing here in Sussex County. As first a volunteer and then an Advisory Board Member I am delighted that Sojihuggles is helping to address the unmet needs of children. The group is highly motivated and enthusiastic in what they do. They are driven and purposeful in their mission and bring a wonderful inspiring meaning to the word volunteer.
I am both a donor and a volunteer. Sojihuggles Childrens Foundation is unique for a number of reasons. It serves the local population (Sussex County), collaborates with other groups who are helping children (Diaper Drive), tries not to duplicate what is readily available (Birthday Party Bags) and actively looks for the unmet needs of children and finds and funds ways to help by working with school nurses and locally based agencies in a number of communities. It will always be evolving so as the needs change so will the focus of the foundation.
It is gratifying and exciting to be involved. And I am proud to be a part of a 100% volunteer group that gives 100% of its funds to those children in need in our communities.
I am both a donor and a volunteer with Sojihuggles Childrens Foundation. Everyone is a volunteer. All the money that comes in, goes directly to support children in need. Personally, I like knowing that ALL of my donation is going to the cause and not paying staff salary or a bonus for an executive. Sojihuggles is making a big impact in the lives of many underprivileged children. It makes me feel good, and I’m also proud, to be part of such a worthwhile cause.
Although the organization is new they have made great strides in helping the community already. The Mission is very important to our part of the state and it is shocking that kids in the US are starving or without bare necessities like pyjamas or shoes.My children and I have volunteered with this organization a few times now and are mostly impressed by the transparency on every level to the public.Not one cent goes unaccounted for and funds go to where the true need is. It is volunteer based at the moment. The Founder and Board is hardworking, and extremely organized.Every activity and fundraising effort is well thought out and well executed. I would not hesitate to give of my time or my funds to Sojihuggles.Sometimes the smallest groups can make the biggest difference.I wish them well and continues success in reaching their goals.
