Thank you to all the community members who helped us find our ideal setting. We will be celebrating with an Open House on May 5 and hope you can join us!

Happy Holidays

12/5/2012 Please make Gently Hugged a part of your holiday charitable giving this season.

Currently we are experiencing a shortage of sleepers in all sizes that help keep babies in need stay warm in the winter months. We accept new or gently used clothing and cash donations allow us to purchase these needed items.

We Are Thankful!

11/9/2012 More is coming in daily, but at last count, Gently Hugged has collected 2600 pounds of baby clothing through generous community giving. As a result, well over 180 boxes /bags of clothing have been distributed to infants in need throughout San Diego County.

We are very grateful for this success, and are encouraged daily by the health providers who deliver the clothing and consistently report that new mothers are thrilled and overwhelmed by the compassion and generosity of the community for the welfare of their babies.
