Le Pont/Bridging Food Bank is honoured to receive a generous donation of $4,520 from the Hudson Porchfest organization following the Porchfest held in Hudson in September 2025.
Porchfest has a unique and admirable tradition: each year, the funds raised from Porchfest attendees and local businesses are split between two charitable causes. This year, we are proud to be one of the beneficiaries, alongside La Passerelle, a local local women’s shelter. That spirit of shared generosity speaks volumes about the values behind this remarkable event.
What makes this donation especially meaningful is that it was raised while delivering an extraordinary day of free, live music throughout our community. Porchfest proves that you can bring people together, celebrate local talent, and still make a very real difference for those who need support most.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Tim Walsh and Donna Stewart, Porchfest organizers, and to everyone who attended, donated, hosted a porch, or played a note. Your enthusiasm and generosity will have a direct impact on families in our community.
Hudson showed up—beautifully.
