Hugs for Heroes, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting our troops overseas through shipments of essential items and notes. Since 2004, we have shipped nearly ten tons of goods to our servicemen and women in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our goal is to show them that those back home are thinking about them and that we appreciate, respect, and admire their courage and sacrifices. Our hope is to make the hardships they endure a little easier to bear. Though they too often serve in anonymity, we must not forget they stand guard for us every day and night to protect us and our way of life.
