We Are Asking For Your Help…
Big Group Hug wants to ensure all our kids are warm this winter by including pyjamas, singlets, socks & underwear in all our donated packs of clothing.
The ‘Pj’s, singlets, socks & jocks make for warm & happy kids & tots’ campaign asks families to provide new Pj’s, singlets, socks and underwear for children aged 2 to 16 years old. These items will be distributed to families within our community as requested.
