Review for Hugs Project Incorporated, Oklahoma City, OK, USA
My family, especially my daughter, helped to start this wonderful group. We sponsored the original group hug at our church, attended many of the next several and developed tools and techniques with them. My little girl has grown up presenting this project to 4-H kids, fair goers, and many other groups, meanwhile making large numbers of hugs, and sending many packages. Having been intimately involved in the early progression from idea to working group, we know exactly how much good and on how tight a budget this group can work near miracles in helping our troops! It's GREAT!!! It made my daughter and my family more caring, more sharing, and more aware. It was clear when we were on TV several times that it would be a wonderful project, but just how big it has gone is a fantastic surprise. It is terrific to look back and think about the first donation big enough to acquire water holding crystals in a 50 pound bag... big enough to make many hundred Hugs and big enough to get so many people involved. Its time to deliver more hugs to the group... and time for the weather to go higher on the thermometer than most of us will ever see it, so time to get busy again!

all ages, races, types, and so very helpful and gracious.

really make our troops feel the love we all have for them and the care we wish we could give them.
Ways to make it better...
I could just snap my fingers and make the troops safe... seriously, the hours spent on this project could not have gone to a better cause.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
fund raising, facilities stability (they have a good place in a failing mall... not so great in some ways, wonderful in others).
One thing I'd also say is that...
Bless our Troups, provide a hug to every one of these special people!!!
