LightSource proudly sponsors the Free Hugs campaigns in NYC. The purpose of the campaign, besides bringing
LightSource to the public's attention, is to break down the barriers we all build around us and bring strangers closer in a safe environment. Using the Free Hugs Campaign we will change the face of New York City and the world! It is a campaign anyone can join at any time, free for all!
LightSource will be sponsoring ALL Free Hugs in
New York City. This means that ANYONE who wants to take part of this
amazing campaign is free to take up any of our signs. Furthermore,
anyone who wants to create their own Free Hugs signs is welcome to use
our material, or buy their own and LightSource will redeem your
receipt for any material you buy for Free Hugs signs. LightSource
will occasionally even provide food and drink to people doing Free
Hugs!
This means that ANYONE who wants to take part in the Free Hugs
campaign is free to do so without paying a penny out of pocket.

| “I never
realized how far a hug can go! The whole free hugs thing completely
made my day, and the happiness I got from it is still in me. Hugging
complete strangers really does break the barriers. And it really
makes you a lot less paranoid when in a group of people you don't
know.” -Abby

What is so special about LightSource Free Hugs?Free Hugs is not just a campaign for
LightSource, it is a whole project on it's own! Using Free Hugs alone we can easily change the face of the Big City. Paired with the power of
LightSource it is doing AMAZING things.
LightSource is not happy just having a couple friends standing around giving hugs, we want to get as many people involved as possible! We bring many bulk signs to share with people so that anyone walking by will not just get a hug but also get involved in giving hugs, and after the leave will continue to be involved and continue spreading hugs.
Why a hug?A hug will bring a smile to anyone's face. Hugs will release Endorphins and serotonin into the blood stream which cause pleasure and negate pain and sadness, lowers blood pressure, decrease the chances of getting heart problems, helps fight excess weight and prolongs life. Hugs will also release Oxytocin, which stimulates and sharpens the senses and increases the functionality of your body. A hug will also help you relax the muscles and stretch them out, especially the facial muscles, erasing age lines and slowing the aging process.
Hugs will make you healthier, younger, thinner, more relaxed, live longer, fight depression and make you age slower. Doctors actually recommend getting 15 hugs a day for a healthy life! Where do you want to get YOUR share of hugs?
