HUDSON-WEBBER FOUNDATION

The hudsonian assistance and counseling program provides financial support for the services of a professional counselor to help eligible j.l. Hudson company's former employees and their dependents who are seeking help with personal crises and misfortunes. This counselor offersreferrals to public agencies and private resources, as appropriate. When financial assistance is a necessary component of crisis resolution, and when personal or family resources, outside commercial resources, and/or assistance available through community, charitable, or public resources is unavailable or inadequate, the program's counselor may apply for a grant from the foundation on behalf of a hudsonian. Trustees of the foundation carefully evaluate these applications and make the final decision on each request. During 2024, counseling was provided to three hudsonians. All needed financial assistance, were qualified, and were provided grants totaling $16,344.20.
