AROUND THE WORLD

Each Hug Rock gifted is more than just a token of kindness—it’s part of a global map of compassion! When you find or receive a Hug Rock, you can add your location to our map, showing how far kindness can travel. Together, we can track the ripple effects of love and connection across the world!

OUR MISSION

Our mission with Hug Rocks is to spread boundless love and kindness across the world, in hopes that every person feels loved, valued, and seen. Through simple yet meaningful gestures, we aim to inspire a ripple effect of compassion and connection.

THe Creator

Melissa began her journey by painting small rocks with messages of hope during a time when she felt isolated and alone. Inspired by her granddaughter Pyper’s kindness, she started leaving these rocks in random places and soon began handing them directly to strangers, sparking heartfelt conversations and connections.
