4.2 million youth and young adults are homeless within the United States each year.

At WannaHug, we believe kindness should be confident, effortless, and part of everyday life. Youth homelessness is not a distant issue. It’s in our schools, our neighborhoods, our own backyards. Too many young people are left without the basics that bring warmth, safety, hope, and dignity.

Of the 4.2 million youth and young adults, 700,000 are youth ages 13–17 and 3.5 million are youth ages 18–25. *

WannaHug makes it simple to step in with confident kindness and ensure they’re not forgotten. Every hoodie, tee, or beanie you purchase does more than keep you comfortable...it makes an impact.

With each item, you choose an essential like socks, towels, or hats to be donated to someone experiencing homelessness right in your own community.

Your purchase creates a direct connection: essentials go straight into the hands of those who need them most, while every piece of clothing is made in the USA. We thoughtfully choose products and partners that support our mission, combining quality, care, and eco-conscious practices.

WannaHug is more than comfortwear...it’s a movement. A way to stand tall, wear your values, and know that with every item you put on, someone else feels warmth, dignity, and hope.

Changing the Story of Youth Homelessness

  • 4.2 million youth experience homelessness in the U.S. every year, facing nights without safe shelter, consistent meals, or basic necessities.



  • 1 in 30 teens (ages 13–17) go without stable housing, often hiding their situation while trying to keep up with school, friendships, and everyday life.

  • 1 purchase = 1 gift of comfortwear. Every item you buy provides warmth and dignity to a young person in need, making it simple to be part of the solution.
