Review for Hugs Project Incorporated, Oklahoma City, OK, USA

The vast majority of the monies donated goes for postage to get as many packages as possible into the hands of our brave men and women serving in harm's way abroad.

During his 15 month deployment he received a package from the HUGS project which he shared with the men and women he worked with--including Iraqis assisting the military. Each package we are able to send touches many--not only with essential things like food, HUGS, and survival bracelets; not only with the caring shown by all the little things thoughtfully included; not only by providing an opportunity for our soldiers to share with each other and those they are there to help; but also by impacting the lives of every person involved in those packages in a positive way.

The recipients not only have their living conditions improved by the contents but are blessed by the love and caring behind each package.
