Be a Hero, Adopt a Hero... and help lift morale .
We give you all the ways to keep it easy and inexpensive. You can have friends help with items and letters and even postage as long as you maintain confidentiality. You also don’t need to send much because it’s the emotional support that matters
most. You can do this all from home including MAILING your care packages and we show you how.
We have been doing this for 20 years now at the Homefront Hugs Foundation ...since 9-11. Our volunteers come back for more and they are the reason we shine in our national award winning adoption program .
We write references for teens and adults. Teens and college students can get volunteer credit with us easily.
Do it with a friend,as a family, with your place of worship or business , with your students as a teacher,or with your social or sports club.
Our goal is to prevent the suicides, depression and isolation for hundreds who are onntheir first or 10() deployment. This is not political.
We know after 20 years at war, many of our troops are stressed and need to know they are not forgotten.
Sadly we are still losing 22-24 troops and veterans per DAY to emotional wounds ... to suicide. Your letters and simple care packages brighten spirits and lift morale just as they did in World War II . We call them Homefront Hugs and the reason we have this name ( Support from the Homefront as in WWII).
We are assigning within 1 week now as the need is so great.
Thanks again for helping us make sure no hero is forgotten.

Description
At Homefront Hugs, our missions include helping our wounded & seriously ill vets, adopting deployed troops, helping kids and teens give back in ways they choose, crisis intervention addressing our national mental health crisis, and disaster relief.
We need volunteers to write cards and send needs to our wounded & sick veterans in hospitals, to help homeless & isolated vets, and so much more.
Teenagers and college students can start their own Homefront Hugs volunteer clubs nationwide giving back to their communities and helping reach out to one another to stay safe on and offline.
We value every volunteer, whatever your age or ability, every veteran from every walk of life.
Monetary donations are needed to mail care packages to our wounded and deployed,for stewardship programs, disaster relief, suicide prevention, and focusing on our mental health crisis affecting all ages.
Giving back to our country and our communities in thanks for our freedoms is what Homefront Hugs is all about with many teenagers developing their own projects making a real difference and part of their own self-care.
Projects include helping citizens vote, lifting spirits of children with cancer, the Humane Society, developing apps to improve inclusion & diversity, staying safe especially with AI, visiting isolated veterans, and much more. Our volunteers are the reason we shine!
