NEOPAT was honored to be part of the Hudson Holiday Walk at First & Main on Sunday, December 7th, where community warmth outshined the winter chill. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Hudson community and the support of First & Main Hudson, the event became a festive day of giving, celebration, and holiday cheer — all in support of local military families.
This year’s Holiday Walk featured horse and wagon rides, a free hot cocoa warm-up station, kids’ make-and-take crafts, and plenty of family-friendly fun. Together, the community raised more than $800 and donated hundreds of toys for our annual toy drive.
These contributions directly benefit military families across Northeast Ohio — helping ensure they experience joy, comfort, and support this holiday season and well into the new year.
One of the day’s biggest highlights was a special appearance by Mrs. Claus, who brought smiles to kids and adults alike as she greeted families and helped collect toy donations.
NEOPAT extends our deepest thanks to First & Main Hudson, all participating organizations, and the countless families who stopped by to share in the festivities. Your generosity ensures that military families in our region feel supported, celebrated, and remembered.
Wishing you all a warm and wonderful holiday season — and thank you again for helping us make a meaningful difference.
