HUGS St. Johns volunteers pack emergency clothing bags for 600-plus St. Johns County kids every year. Its duffel bags are filled with gently used and new clothing, new undies, new socks, sneakers, full-size toiletries and school supplies for kids in need who are referred by their school counselors and partner nonprofit agencies.
You can help:
- Check your closets and consider donating clean, gently used, school-appropriate children’s clothing. Especially needed: boys and girls sizes 6-12 pants, shorts, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts. Teenage sizes also appreciated. Email HUGS to arrange a drop-off or pickup at info@stjohnshugs.org
