OurMission & Values
Snuggle Sacks strives to bring awareness to homelessness in our communities, and extinguish the stigma that goes along with it. By providing homeless individuals with survival kits, we hope to drastically reduce the amount of medical emergencies due to environmental factors, and also provide other helpful resources, including medical benefits, employment assistance and HOPE.
