The Hudson Daybreak Rotary (HDR) Club is proud to announce grants totaling $20,700 to support local youth, nonprofit organizations, and community initiatives, with the largest allocation benefiting the Hudson School District's lunch account. The Club has always aimed to make a meaningful impact, and this year, the decision to provide a one-time grant of $6,700 to the Angel Fund will help pay off overdue school lunch accounts.
"As we move into the holiday season, many local families face added stressors," said Club President, Julie Heifner. "We believe that ensuring students have access to lunch should not be one of them. By supporting the Angel Fund, we hope to ease this burden and provide relief for families in our community."
Hudson Daybreak Rotary encourages others to consider the Angel Fund or contact the Hudson School District to learn more about current needs affecting students and families.
The Hudson Daybreak Rotary also continues to support the YMCA Rotary Teen Center and Skate Park, an initiative launched decades ago to enhance opportunities for youth and create a better community for all. This annual support aligns with HDR’s mission to invest in the next generation and foster meaningful change in Hudson.

The Hudson Daybreak Rotary Club is committed to fostering a stronger community through meaningful contributions and partnerships. This year’s grants reflect the Club’s dedication to addressing immediate needs while supporting long-term community growth.
