Volunteers needed for Backpack Buddies! 🎒

Every weekend, kids in our community go home without reliable access to food. Backpack Buddies helps close that gap by sending kids home on Fridays with a kit of nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals to get them through the weekend, and we need more hands to make it happen.

We're looking for volunteers to help with:
🥫 Packing food kits
🚗 Delivering kits to schools/families
♻️ Recycling support

No experience needed, just a willingness to show up and help a kid in your community. Sign up for a shift that works for you here:

Questions? Drop a comment or message us, we're happy to walk you through it.

Great! You'll need a SignUp link or personal invitation to access SignUp.com. Don't have one or have one that's not working?

🍕 A huge Shoutout & Thank You to our friends at Rail Trail Flatbread Co.! 🍕

We are looking back with immense gratitude for the generous donation Rail Trail Flatbread Co. made to the Hudson Community Food Pantry a few months ago!

Our downtown businesses are the heartbeat of Hudson, and Rail Trail proves time and time again that they care just as much about giving back to our neighbors as they do about serving up incredible food. Their support helps us keep our shelves stocked and ensures local families have access to essential food and supplies.

Community partnerships like this make all the difference. Next time you drop by Main Street for dinner, grab a slice, or pick up takeout, please be sure to thank them for supporting the Hudson Community Food Pantry! ❤️

🎨 Big smiles and huge thanks to the wonderful kids and teachers at CHAPS, Inc.🎨

The fantastic name tags they created for the volunteers are appreciated and will make their debut in the next few days! 📛✨

To say these mean the world to us is an understatement. Every single name tag is so thoughtfully decorated, colorful, and unique.

Thank you to the talented students at Chaps Academy for sharing your kindness and creativity with us—and to the teachers for encouraging such a wonderful community spirit. You’ve put a big smile on all of our faces! 🌟❤️

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to the wonderful Youth Group from Carmel Mar Thoma Church! 🌟

These amazing young volunteers recently went above and beyond for our community. Not only did they organize and run a fantastic food drive to collect much-needed items for our shelves, but they also spent their Friday night a few weeks ago with us at the pantry rolling up their sleeves to unload, sort, and put it all away! 📦🛒

It takes a lot of effort behind the scenes to keep our shelves stocked and ready for our neighbors, and we are so grateful for their hard work, energy, and commitment to fighting local hunger.

Thank you, Carmel Mar Thoma Church Youth Group, for spending your Friday night giving back and making a real difference right here in Hudson! ❤️ dynamic leaders like you truly make our community shine.
