Community Rallies Behind Watertown Cares

Sam Mooney, a Watertown Cares Board Member, braved 36 hours in the cold for the “SOS: Sam Off the Streets” fundraiser, shining a spotlight on the reality of homelessness in Watertown.

This incredible effort, supported by matching funds from the Watertown Area Community Foundation and Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, raised more than $110,000 for Watertown Cares.

A special thank-you goes to KXLG Radio for going above and beyond—not only by providing broadcast updates from Sam’s journey but also for their ongoing dedication to raising awareness about the issues affecting our community, including Watertown’s homeless crisis.

The Foundation is proud to support this critical cause and grateful for the generosity of everyone who contributed. Together, we’re making a difference for those in need.
