Our mission

How it works

How it works

At the Healing Hugs Project, our mission is to bring comfort and joy to hospitalized children through the gift of upcycled plushies. We create and distribute these soft, handmade toys using repurposed clothing to provide a sense of warmth and security to young patients facing challenging times. Our goal is to make a difference in their lives by offering not just a plushie, but a heartfelt hug that symbolizes care and support.

Join us in our mission to brighten the days of children in need and show them they are not alone.

hug the World with Healing Hugs Project!

At the Healing Hugs Project, we’re dedicated to turning donated clothes into comforting plushies and blankets for hospitalized children. Here’s a step-by-step look at how your support makes a difference:


  • Gathering Donations: We collect gently used and cleaned clothing donations from generous supporters like you.
  • Creating Comfort: Our team of volunteers then transform these donated clothes into soft, cuddly plushies and cozy blankets. Each handmade gift is crafted with love and care to provide comfort and warmth to children in hospitals.
  • Spreading Joy: Once ready, we work with hospitals to distribute them to children who are in need of a little extra comfort and cheer during their stay. Our goal is to bring smiles and hugs to young patients facing tough times.


By participating in our project, you help turn your unused clothing into a source of comfort and joy for children in need. Thank you for being a part of our mission to spread warmth and love!
