Operation Hug-A-Hero

Jacksonville, North Carolina

Cause Description:
Operation Hug-A-Hero®, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization (ID # 26-3006655), is proud and humbled to serve the children of our nation’s heroes that serve in our armed services, law enforcement and as first responders. Since its establishment in 2008, Operation Hug-A-Hero has raised funds to launch and implement its Hug-A-Hero doll program. To date, hundreds of Hug-A-Hero dolls have been provided, at no cost, to the children of heroes that are deployed, in harm’s way each and every day, or fallen. The Hug-A-Hero doll is no ordinary doll. The Hug-A-Hero doll’s design features the head-to-toe photograph of the recipient’s parent or loved one and a personalized message just for them. The doll not only provides comfort in the times of distress or sadness that separation can cause, but also provides a vehicle for the child to share his/her feeling and tell his/her story about his/her hero’s service. We are inspired by the many families that have shared their stories about how the Hug-A-Hero doll has made a difference in their lives. We fondly call the children in our program our “Littlest Heroes.”
