Hugs in a Basket
A comfort basket can't fix everything. But it can help someone breathe for a minute. We donate these baskets directly to hospitals so families can receive support right when they need it most.
Help Us Reach 100 Baskets
Last year, Bree's Legacy delivered 50 Hugs in a Basket. This year, our goal is to deliver 100 baskets filled with comfort, encouragement and love to children and families experiencing a hospital stay.
Our Amazon Wishlist will remain open through November 30, 2026. After November 30, we will inventory the donations, purchase any remaining items needed to reach our goal and assemble and deliver the baskets in December.
Purchasing items yourself? Contact Kirstin or Kristy to arrange pickup.
