The John S. Watson Fund

Supporting families in need since 1936

Join us in providing essential support to families in Southern Berkshire County during the holiday season. Your contribution can make a significant difference in ensuring that every family receives the help they deserve.

Our 
Story

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.
