Hudson Rallies to Support JOANN Employees with Job Fairs

Big changes are happening in Hudson with the news that JOANN Fabric and Crafts is closing all of its stores—including its corporate headquarters and distribution center right here in town. Nearly 1,000 local employees are impacted, and while it's a tough time, the Hudson community is stepping up to help.

Two free job fairs are coming up to support those affected:

• 🗓️ Thursday, March 6 – For corporate employees, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• 🗓️ Thursday, March 13 – For distribution center workers, from noon to 5 p.m.

Both events will be held at the Joann Conference Center (5455 Darrow Road) and will feature local employers ready to connect with job seekers.

If you know someone who’s been impacted, spread the word. Hudson’s community spirit is strong, and we’re all in this together.
