Biographical / Historical

From the HCSA website (accessed 11/2024): "For more than 78 years, the Hudson Community Service Association has been serving the citizens and neighbors of Hudson. HCSA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, incorporated in 1944, near the close of WWII to assist and provide for returning United States Armed Forces veterans of Hudson and their families. Hudson was a growing community of approximately 2500 residents at the time.

Wanting to see every member of our community cared for, the founders of HCSA began contacting local non-profit organizations and inviting them to join together in a forum that would enhance their ability to identify community needs and to develop strategies to meet those needs.

Today, there are approximately 24 local Hudson organizations that are members of the Hudson Community Service Association. Working together, the member organizations of HCSA help provide assistance to neighbors in need and also provide recreational enjoyment through the lighting program for all residents of the city."
