About Us

Hugs for Heroes, Inc., is a non-profit organization founded in July 2004 to show support to U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • We are a 501(c)3 organization - which means all donations are tax-deductible.
  • We different from other groups because we are 100% volunteer-run - this means every penny you donate goes directly to purchase and ship items to our troops.
  • Hugs for Heroes has no political affiliation - we are all about supporting the troops.

 

As long as troops are in Iraq and Afghanistan, our simple goal remains to help as many troops as possible feel appreciation from home in the form of notes and small items that can make the hardships they endure just a little easier to bear.

 

While shipments of care packages to troops are ongoing, several large shipments a year are planned.

Please use the Contact Us page to send us an email if you would like to get involved.

 

"As I fill out postal forms and carry each box into the post office, knowing in a few days they will be opened by deserving servicemen and women, I think of people like you who help make it possible. And I envision the response of the troops when reading the notes and opening the overflowing packages. I know it makes a difference."
