For the month of November, Stroller Strides and LUNA Moms Club of Castle Rock is doing a Loving Hugs Drive. Is your house overloaded with stuffed animals that your kids never even play with? Well, let's donate them to an organization that can actually use them! Loving Hugs, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Littleton that collects new and gently used stuffed animals (called "hugs") to send to children around the world living in very stressful situations - such as war zones, orphanages, refugee and IDP camps, and hospitals, to give them some emotional comfort through a soft, cuddly ‘portable hug’. For the entire month of November we will be having a Hugs Drive to collect your new or gently used stuffed animals. Check HERE for the guidelines of animals that will be accepted. Feel free to bring them to me at any of our LUNA Moms club events this month. Since I'll be storing them at my house until the end of the month, if you plan on coming to our Mom's Night Out at my house, that would be a perfect time to bring them, but feel free to bring them to me whenever is convenient for you. I'd love to see if we could donate over 100 hugs from our group. So go through those toy boxes! This would be a great opportunity to get your kids involved and explain to them that some kids don't have any stuffed animals to hug and they could help them by sharing theirs.
