✨ Welcome to the Heroes Collective PNW ✨
Your guide to local businesses doing good — one hug at a time.
What It’s All About
Where your dollar does more than just support a business — it fuels a mission.
The Heroes Collective PNW is a growing network of community-minded businesses who support Austen’s Huggable Heroes. From coffee shops and barbers to hotels and breweries, our partners help collect stuffed animals, spread awareness, and even give special perks to YOU — our huggable heroes.
Why It Matters
"When you support a Hero Collective business, you’re not just shopping local — you're giving a child comfort during a tough time.”
– Whitley Wilkerson, Founder & Proud Mom

💫 How to Join the Heroes Collective
Want to do more good in your community? You’re in the right place.
Being part of the Heroes Collective means your business isn’t just “supporting local” — it’s helping bring comfort to kids during life’s hardest moments.
Together, we make a bigger impact — one hug at a time.
📦 Host a Hug Box
Place a donation box at your business and help collect new and gently loved stuffed animals for children in foster care and shelters. We provide the box, signage, and everything you need!
🎉 Sponsor an Event
From summer play days to donation drives, our events bring the community together. Sponsors get featured in all our print, digital, and on-site materials.
🤝 Offer a Hero Perk
Give customers a little something extra — like a discount or upgrade — and get listed as an official Hero Perk Partner. It's our way of saying thanks (and getting more people to your door).
