Due to the coronavirus pandemic we are meeting through Zoom. If you
haven’t been able to meet with US in person now is your chance to
learn more about our mission and help support moms of CRITICALLY ILL
HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN. Our signature shrugs are easy to make - and we
will happily get you started. We have some pattern ideas and yarn
suggestions on our website www.HugsthroughShrugs.org but beginning
April 2020 we will be offering our own Shrug Club Kits. Each kit
contains yarn, pattern, 2 ties to "lace" the sleeves closed AND US19
circular needles. A Shrug Club membership lasts one year from date of
purchase and your first kit will cost $50. If you choose to donate
your shrug - or any shrug made with stash yarns that are comparable,
we will swap it for another kit. All additional kits are half price
($25). These additional kits do not include needles or pattern as you
have them from your starter kit. Shrugs are included in our care
packages that are shipped and delivered to Child Life Specialists in
CHILDREN’s hospitals to help welcome moms of pediatric inpatients.
We currently serve several hospitals in NJ, NYU Langone/Brooklyn,
Hasbro CHILDREN’s Hospital in Providence, RI, University of Vermont
CHILDREN S HOSPITAL AND MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER IN NYC.
Visit www.HugsthroughShrugs.org or follow US on Facebook: Hugs through
Shrugs and Instagram @hugsthroughshrugs to learn more about our
mission and to join our community of support “Sending Hugs through
Shrugs” to some very worried moms.You don’t have to attend
meetings to volunteer. Shrugs can be shipped to us or dropped at the
Martinsville Community Center. With enough support we are hoping to
add CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), and Goryeb
Children’s Hospital in Morristown to our giving list. Please email
Mary if you have any questions: [masked].
