We would love to meet our supporters in the community. You will always find
us with our Gently Hugged display near the Bernardo Winery office on Friday
mornings from 10:00 - 12:00 during the Farmer's Market. Come by to say hello
and bring donations if you have them! 9 and 12 month sleepers and onesies
are always needed but we greatly appreciate any donation of infant clothing.

The Gently Hugged Facebook page is revitalized so please "Like" us for a good way
to stay current with our ongoing activities and view lots of photos!
Gently Hugged sends many thanks to the Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club for matching
the donations of 3 members and making it possible for us to purchase a much needed
laser printer. Now it is possible to produce good quality flyers, posters, and
other promotional materials without relying on our substandard personal equipment.
Infant clothing needed
6/5/2013
We continue to receive new requests from worthy organizations that serve disadvantaged
families and women who are pregnant or have recently given birth. If your neighborhood,
club, or group would like to become involved in our efforts to collect clothing, blankets,
and books for babies in need please contact us!
Thank you to Bethlehem Lutheran Church for choosing Gently Hugged as a "Giving Tree"
Project for the month of May. We received 48 pounds of mostly new baby clothing along
with generous cash contributions. We appreciate the outreach ministry and the giving
spirit of this church and its members.
