The Hudson League for Service was founded in 1947 to provide community service by a group of women who wanted the opportunity to render volunteer service for the greatest benefit to the community, emphasizing the needs and interest of children. As the needs have changed, the projects that the League promotes have changed.

Currently, the HLS sponsors the annual Ice Cream Social as part of the Hudson Days in June, the Book Fair at Eastwoods School in the fall, Caroling on the Green in December and a monthly Red Cross Blood Drive at Barlow Center. After training by the Cleveland Sight Center, volunteers screen preschoolers for vision problems.

Students are encouraged to participate in HLS and other service activities. The Hudson League for Service grants a $1000.00 college scholarship to a high school senior who has given exemplary service to others. Information and applications can be obtained from the high school guidance office or by contacting the League for Service at PO Box 203, Hudson Ohio, 44236. The deadline for all applications to be received is in March.

In addition, community grants are provided to a variety of local groups who apply for specific grants. Fundraising events allow the HLS to return approximately $18,000 annually. Shown below are the 2008 community and scholarship recipients.
