The John S. Watson Fund has a long, heartfelt history of supporting families in Southern Berkshire County. Established in 1936 as the Community Christmas Cheer Committee, it began with Mr. Watson himself handing out candy to local children. In 1978, the organization became an official non-
profit, and the John S. Watson’s legacy continued under the guidance of his son, John M. Watson, who served on the Board of Directors until his passing in Fall 2022. Today, the Fund supports families in need by providing clothing gift cards for each qualifying child and food vouchers to help create a holiday feast. This meaningful assistance is made possible through the generosity and support of the community.
