HUGS for the homeless

Church youth group members in Reno, Neveda, devised a project last year that became such a success they are doing it again this Christmas.

Moved by stories of what homeless people face in wintertime Reno, including frequently going without socks or underwear because those items so rarely are donated, the young people planned a special drive. They sought Hats, Underwear, Gloves and Socks. They called their project HUGS.

Read how they did it at Episcopal Life Online.
