About Hugs From Friends

Hugs From Friends started in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2022 to encourage children in the United States to create artwork to show support for Ukrainian children and families that have been impacted by the war. We partner with individuals, schools, businesses and community organizations across the United States. We send the artwork to schools, community organizations and humanitarian centers in Ukraine.

Anna Chapovska
School Director  

We are very glad to have you with us. Now, more than ever, we need your support, because Ukraine has been at war for more than half a year. It took away our dreams, cheerful laughter, peaceful sleep, shot our spring and summer. The people of Ukraine have rallied even more to fight for freedom and independence, so your help is extremely important to them.
