Beanie Babies for Ukraine

Cormorant Garamond is a classic font with a modern twist. It's easy to read on screens of every shape and size, and perfect for long blocks of text.
At Hugs From Friends, we believe even the smallest things can bring big comfort. That’s why we created the Beanie Babies Program—a way for people in the U.S. to donate new or gently used Beanie Babies and help bring love, hope, and comfort to children in Ukraine.
For a child in Ukraine living through a war, a Beanie Baby can be more than a toy—it can be a friend, a source of security, and a symbol that someone far away is thinking of them.
Why Beanie Babies?
-
They’re small and easy to ship
-
They’re comforting to hold and hug
-
They’re durable and beloved by kids everywhere
-
They represent care and kindness from a stranger across the globe
Just like a drawing, a Beanie Baby is a hug in physical form—a gentle reminder that the world still has love to give.
