About Our Beneficiary
At the heart of Watertown is a community that cares—and the Watertown Community Foundation is proof of that. Their mission is simple but powerful: to lift up those who need it most. Whether it's a neighbor struggling to put food on the table or a family facing unexpected hardship, the Foundation steps in when there’s nowhere else to turn.

By attending Stick A Fork In It, you're doing more than enjoying great food and fun—you’re helping ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Your support helps fund vital programs that fight food insecurity and bring hope to some of Watertown’s most vulnerable residents.

Let’s stick a fork in hunger—together.
