The Hugs & Hope Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity which serves critically ill children and their families through various programs. The HUGS and HOPE Newsletter is sent weekly via email to individuals who wish to encourage children with serious ailments by sending notes, letters, or small surprises through the mail. These children and their families suffer greatly under so many emotional and physical pressures, and knowing that others care means a great deal to them! Each month, stories and photos of new "Hugs and Hope Club Kids" are posted on our web site. Visitors to the site who wish to send mail or participate in other projects and programs may do so. We call these caring folks "hug givers and hope builders." This email list is for members who would like to receive news about Hugs and Hope's current activities, fundraisers, new programs, etc. as well as health updates on the children who have been featured on our site over the past six years.
