Annual General Meeting of Le Pont/Bridging Food Bank
2025-03-05 18:30 - 20:00 | Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre, 394 Main Road, Hudson, QC, J0P 1H0, Canada
Hudson’s Le Pont/Bridging Food Bank Honours Porchfest’s Tim Walsh
The Annual General Meeting of Le Pont/Bridging Food Bank will be held on Wednesday, March 5th at 6:30 pm at Hudson’s Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre. All are welcome.
“Le Pont”, as we often proudly refer to ourselves, would not be able to serve the now nearly 40 families in need without the help of volunteers. From our “in-house” volunteers to organizations and individuals, there are so many to thank. We would be remiss however not to use our Annual General Meeting to highlight one in particular.
Hudson musician and music teacher Tim Walsh has been selected as this year’s honouree. Over the last four years, Tim has been the rallying force behind two local initiatives, Hudson’s Porchfest and the Hudson Community Choir and Hudson Young Voices, to support Le Pont/Bridging. He is quick to say that he is but a member of teams that includes Monica Gunter with the choirs, and Donna Stewart, Sandy Racicot-Day and Phil Prince with Porchfest.
Concert attendees and Porchfest “listeners” are asked to donate food items in lieu of admission fees. Commercial porches such as Sauvé`s are asked to donate directly to Le Pont as their participation fee. Tim singles out Andrew Dumas from Sauvé`s as well as Alex Mate of the Alibi Group (Alibi Lounge, Alibi Barn and the Château du lac) as being at the forefront, and even refers to Andrew as Hudson’s “King of Kensington”! As well, net profits from the sale of food and merchandise are divided between Le Pont/Bridging and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. These are definitely team efforts, with a leader who deserves our gratitude.
Like many of Le Pont’s “unsung heroes”, Tim Walsh doesn’t look for recognition. This should not keep us from expressing our gratitude especially when the need of families suffering from food insecurity has been growing.
We are also proud to announce that we have launched our new and improved website: lepontbridging.org. Intended to be a resource for those in need of help, as well as to keep our supporters informed of how they can contribute to Le Pont/Bridging, it would not have happened without the input of many volunteers, especially that of graphic designer Vanessa Vallières.

During the cocktail, take a group photo or couples shot with gifted photographer Talia Dezso, and browse the 75-100 silent auction items, donated mostly by local businesses. For dinner, enjoy a delicious tasting menu prepared by Italian executive chef, Thomas Gagliardi, known for his experience working in European Michelin restaurants. The evening will end with a live auction given by professional auctioneer Robin Pridham, followed by dancing to music from Hudson’s own The Coveralls.
Le Nichoir is long known for its auctions, from our first “For the Birds”, held at the Whitlock Golf and Country Club back in 1999. That year, the money raised paid for a septic system servicing a flush toilet in our headquarters, Marnie Clarke’s old barn! Now, operating in our modern conservation centre, one of the largest of its kind in Canada, and known for its expertise internationally, Le Nichoir continues to serve our local community, and celebrate its roots in Hudson.
“For the Birds” is an important fundraiser for bird care and environment education programs. Join us on March 29th to show your support, meet our team, have fun and most importantly, have a positive impact on the natural world we enjoy in Hudson!
