Founded in February 2003,

HUGS FOR SOLDIERS is a ministry of Duluth First United Methodist Church, Duluth, GA.  Our program is 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 provide love and support for our nation's military who make daily sacrifices for the freedom America enjoys.
