2022 Empty Stocking Appeal starts with a bang as Hudson Group donates $10k

Entering its 114th year, the appeal raises money for community members in need at Christmas.

Hudson Group general manager Jason Lanham said his organisation was fortunate to be able to help, and encouraged other local businesses to throw their weight behind the cause.

"I believe we have a social obligation to support the needy and those that are less fortunate," Mr Lanham said.

"That's why we do it - we're fortunate we've got a nice solid business and we need to be able to provide to the community whenever the opportunity comes around.

"We'll keep doing that as long as we possibly can."
