The Hugs Project of Western Kentucky, Inc.

HELLO ANYONE WHO CAN SEW. We are in need of anyone willing to donate just a couple of hours each week to making "hugs" (cooling wraps) for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The temperatures there will be in excess of 140 to 150 degrees F and these wraps will greatly help keep them cooler in the desert heat. Also, "smellies" (boot fresheners). Instructions are on the links page. They are very simple to make and we will provide all materials needed to make them. Contact us for more details.

Effective June 15th, we can now accept credit/debit cards on donations.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who has helped with getting this years packages out to our troops. We have mailed the last 240 of the 1,000 packages as of 12/2/09. Two days later than we hoped, but still in time for them to get them early enough to return the blank Christmas cards to their family and friends. Thanks to those who helped pack boxes, make labels, donated funds, donated items, picked up items, ran errands and everything else it takes to make things work. You ALL are great.

We will start packing boxes for January right after Christmas. Hopefully they will be mailed by the 10th or 15th of January. If you don't have anything to do during the cold winter coming, stop by and help pack some boxes. You will NEVER know true joy until you've done something for someone else who deserves so much. They are willing to die for you, what are you willing to do for them? Can you spend a little time each month to help make sure they know how important they are to us all?

We moved but are still needing to set up and start packing boxes. We're about 70 boxes short as of Jan 4th for Jans mailings. Let's all work together and get this rolling. Put a day a month on your schedule to show some love and support to YOUR troops.
