This group is for all compassionate and loving Vancouverites who want to make this city a better place one hug at a time.
The "Free Hug Campaign" is just what the name implies, we walk around the streets of Vancouver and give out free hugs to anyone who needs one or anyone who would love to get one. It's a non-profit and non-glory campaign and we do it from the goodness in our hearts.
We encourage anyone who would like to join us to just jump in and start hugging, get a large sign that says 'Free Hugs" and walk around, hugs make yourself and the people you hug feel really good and it can be surprising how much a single hug can brighten a person's day.
Anyone at any age can do this, so just go out and give it a try.
There are only a few basic guidelines to hugging (which don't necessarily need to be followed)
1.Don't give out your name.
2.Try not to pester people who don't wish to be hugged.
3.Hug in small groups if not by yourself. Having too many people around can be intimidating and can make the experience lose it's impact. so 1-3 people are great for hugging.
Happy Hugging! and if possible, send some photos or stories to the group of your adventures, and if you would like to join with some of "veteran huggers", just leave a message and we'll get back to you.
