Your Hudson firefighters volunteer numerous hours supporting and working to improve our community.

 

Muscular Dystrophy Association

 Your firefighters spend 3 weekend days collecting money for the Fill-the-Boot campaign. The citizens of Hudson and surrounding communities are extremely generous during these campaigns. We deeply appreciate the generosity of all who have (and will) donate to help Jerry's kids.

Your firefighters sell Popcorn, hotdogs and Soda at Hudson's Annual Old Home Days celebration at the Hills House grounds in August. All proceeds from these sales go directly to MDA.

In 2005, A new fundraising effort was started. The first annual "Shave Your Head for MDA" was held on September 2nd. Members of the Hudson Fire Department obtained sponsors in order to have their head shaved. This event raised over $4,000 this year. Many thanks go out to the following people for their help and support:

  • Tom Levesque, Tom's Barber Shop, Nashua, NH
  • Hudson American Legion Post 48
  • Everyone that donated to this worthwhile cause
  • The Members of the Hudson Fire Department for their support and participation

In 2005, A new fundraising effort was started. The first annual "Christmas Tree Removal" was held in January. Members of the Hudson Fire Department will pickup and dispose of your Christmas tree for a donation that goes directly to MDA.

Halloween Glow Necklaces

                    Every Halloween night, a group of firefighters hop onto their bicycles and head out into some of Hudson's neighborhoods to hand out glow necklaces to all of the kids that are out trick-or-treating. These glow necklaces help to keep the children safe by making them a little more visible during their quest for Halloween candy.

Christmas Family

  Every year, our firefighters gather together to sponsor a family that is in need of a little Christmas help. The firefighters gather donations and then go shopping for Christmas gifts for the family as well as providing a complete Christmas meal with all the fixings. The gifts and food are delivered on Christmas eve by Santa Claus and members of the Hudson Fire Department.
