HUGS FOR SOLDIERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-deductible organization dedicated to offering comforts from home and brightening a Soldier’s day with a care package, card or letter of encouragement. Our “adopted” troops, who are deployed thousands of miles away from home, need to be reassured that America cares about them. We appreciate the great sacrifices they are making, and we will do all we can to boost their morale and lift their spirits during this difficult time. We are beginning our FIFTH year of supporting the Troops!

Hugs for Soldiers is currently supporting troops in Iraq: 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) based at Fort Campbell, KY; 2-1 GSAB based at Fort Riley, KS; and the 39th Brigade, Arkansas Army National Guard.
