As we reflect on the holiday season, we are reminded that while this time of year is often filled with joy and celebration, many families in our community continue to face growing financial pressures that make the holidays especially difficult.
Rising costs for essentials such as food, utilities, and household supplies have placed additional strain on already tight budgets. In response, Wayside Youth & Family Support Network’s Multi-Service Center once again collaborated with local churches and businesses to offer extra support to Watertown families. Thanks to these efforts, families receiving services through Watertown’s Social Services Resource Program were provided with meaningful assistance thanks to the generosity of community donors.
We would like to express our gratitude to Sacred Heart Parish, who generously provided gift cards for Watertown families in need. These gift cards offer not only holiday gift support, but also the flexibility for families to purchase exactly what they need during a time where many are facing increased financial challenges.
We would also like to sincerely thank SignWorks Group for their generous donation of diapers — an essential that can place added strain on a family’s budget. Their contribution helps ease that financial burden and supports caregivers in meeting their children’s basic needs.
We are sincerely grateful for the generosity, compassion, and community spirit shown by these donors. Their kindness has helped uplift many households with relief, joy, and hope during the holiday season.
On behalf of the Watertown Social Services Resource Program, Wayside Multi-Service Center, and the City of Watertown, THANK YOU.
Wishing you a healthy and hopeful start to the new year.
Sincerely,
Wayside Multi-Service Center Staff
