Our Mission

Hugs through Shrugs is a charity project dedicated to creating a community of support for moms with children battling pediatric cancer.  


Volunteers from the knit and crochet community make and donate our Shrug Hugs, wrapping the moms receiving them in love - sending good wishes their way.  


Our collaborations with Arms Wide Open and Momcology allow us to ship Shrug Hugs directly to the home addresses of the moms we serve.


Our collaboration  with  The  Izzy  Foundation  allows us to send Shrug  Hugs  to  every  mom  with  a  child  on  Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI's  pediatric  oncology  floor.  


By tapping into the talent and kindness of the knit and crochet community,   we are letting  some very worried moms know we  are  thinking  about  them  and  reminding  them that  they  matter, their  children  matter  -  and  their journeys are not invisible.


Unfortunately, we can not reach every mom - but with your help we will do our best to reach as many as we can:


One hug at a time, 


one shrug at a time, 


one mom at a time.
