Three Beach Libraries have been constructed and placed at local beaches. You can find them at Hodag Park, Pine Harbor and The Blind Pig. These will be stocked with beach toys for anyone to use, but we encourage the community to also stock them throughout the summer.  Just like with our Hodag10s Sled Hubs and our Little Free Hodag Pantries, we accept donations of sleds, pantry items and now beach toys all year. You can drop off at Northland Insurance office.

Your contribution can make a big difference in the lives of those we serve. 

Watch for donation opportunities each summer to help support our mission.

January 2024 - We collected funds to be able to purchase gas cards for our local departments. With the rising gas prices that we are all experiencing, we want to make sure that when an emergency arises, we have those volunteers who selflessly dedicate their personal time to our safety.  

There are 19 fire stations that serve Oneida County. While one of those stations is a full-time paid department, the remainder of the departments rely on volunteers. 

The winner of the gas cards for this donation was Lake Tomahawk Fire Department. 

$500 in gas cards were delivered to these amazing volunteers. 

In 2023, Newbold Fire Department was the recipient of the gas cards.

A mom and 6 young children needed their communities support. 

Mom is working two jobs to make ends meet, but had fallen short. 

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond her control, she was recently evicted and was without a home for her and her kids. Thankfully, she was approved to move into a new place, but she didn't have the security deposit covered.  

Hodag10s community was able to raise all $3,000 this mom needed, in less than 24 hours. 

Hodag10s matched/donated the remaining $455 needed to get to the goal.

The silver lining and why we do this:  

"She was pretty speechless! She had brought a family member who shared that this was her ability to escape an abusive relationship and start over so it’s pretty wonderful! 

Thank you, again!!!"

 As of today, we have helped a multitude of families, individuals and organizations. From house fires, to funerals, to family emergencies, Hodag10s, Inc is here to support the community through it all.  

 We see every challenge as an opportunity, and our community put us to the challenge creating these sled hubs. 

Two hubs were built and put out at two sledding hills in the community for all to use.  Community members can use the sleds at their own leisure and risk and can also donate sleds for all to enjoy!   

 Hodag10s, Inc is dedicated to putting our Hodag community first. Our Little Free Hodag Pantries provide a much-needed service for those in dire need. Lend a helping hand and join our efforts today. We accept donations of nonperishable goods and items all year long.

You will find these pantries

 Surpised a local 13 year old boy that dreamed of having his own mountain bike. 

Within 5 minutes,  somebody had offered to purchase a new bike and another then offered a bike she owned! Because of the community we were able to provide a brand new helmet, bike lock and water bottle! 

The couple that purchased the bike used community monetary donations towards it but then turned around and matched those with a Kohls gift card so this teen could get some new clothes for school.

 Donations were collected for clients working with Newcap.  Newcap is an organization that offers services and assistance to underserved families in our community.
