Making Strides against Breast Cancer

In October, Hudson Helps participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk of Silicon Valley, helping to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. The 13-person team gathered at the Discovery Meadow Guadalupe River Trail in San Jose to participate in the 5K run/walk, bringing together survivors, loved ones and people hoping to make a difference in the fight against the disease. The team raised nearly $2,000 thanks to the generous support of colleagues, business partners, friends and family.

“It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by the courageous survivors and community of supporters,” said tenant coordinator, Joanna Arrieta. “The event was filled with such positive energy, joy and excitement that we left feeling proud to be able to contribute to this extraordinary cause.”

Giving Job Seekers a Fresh Start

In the fall, Hudson Helps partnered with Clothes the Deal, a nonprofit organization that provides business attire to low-income job seekers. Employees at the corporate office were encouraged to donate new and gently-used clothing items. In less than a month, more than 300 articles of clothing were collected, exceeding the initial goal of 100 outfits.

“Social responsibility is a cornerstone of our company and we strive to be valued corporate citizens,” said Andrea Rupp, Senior Vice President, Human Resources. “It is our goal to provide employees with deeper connections beyond their jobs―fostering ways to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate.”

Spreading Holiday Cheer to Individuals and Families in Need

Hudson Helps continued its mission to serve local communities and meet the needs of the city’s most vulnerable residents during the holidays. For Thanksgiving, Hudson Helps continued its ongoing partnership with PATH Los Angeles and invited employees to donate holiday meal items and gift cards for residents at PATH Villas at Del Rey, an affordable apartment complex for homeless individuals with mental health disabilities. Nearly 50 food baskets were assembled and distributed to grateful residents by employee volunteers. In December, employees participated in PATH Los Angeles’ Adopt-a-Family program, wrapping presents and providing more than 50 “Jingle Bags” filled with toys, gift cards and holiday items to at-risk families.
