“I wanted to write you briefly to let you know that the stuffed animals you granted to us have been very helpful this week as we had the opportunity to use them much sooner than we imagined.
Our unit was on scene with them, at the reunification center and meeting with students and faculty debriefing the tragedy for multiple days.
Thank you again for what you do.

Helping Children in Crisis Situations
Welcome to the Hug Patrol®️ Stuffed Animal Donation Program
Whether you’re an emergency responder looking for a way to put children at ease or a member of the community looking for a great cause to donate to, you’ve found the right place to help provide comfort and support to children in crisis.
Donating Stuffed Animals for Kids In Crisis
We donate unused, new stuffed animals to police officers, fire fighters, and medical personnel for them to use to comfort children facing traumatic and scary situations. We’d love to have you involved as we work together to make children’s experiences less stressful and give emergency responders a great way to reach out and connect.
Working With First Responders
Police, fire fighters and paramedics respond to stressful situations every day that involve children and being able to reach out with a teddy bear or stuffed animal can help children through difficult times. We have a supply of assorted newly purchased stuffed animals in protective bags ready to be included in emergency response vehicles just for these kinds of situations.
