After hosting 1,200 participants at the annual Hudson BrewFest, Hudson Rotarians are reaching out to support our community. After connecting with our Fire Chief, we supplied his department with light duty, and heavy duty pumps and hoses. "We want to be able to support residents who call for help with flooded basements, and our inventory was low. We're very grateful to the Hudson Rotary Club or reaching out and donating this equipment", said Fire Chief Brian Johannes.
During the month of September, Hudson Rotary organized and executed a blanket drive for the Fresh Start Furniture Bank. They serve an average of 600 families every month and as Fall is already here, they let the club know that "we like to give each family about five blankets and our inventory was running low". With five community businesses agreeing to be collection points, Hudson Rotary collected donations and contributed additional sheets, pillows and blankets to round out the effort.
