Friends of the Watertown Salvation Army raises funds and awareness to support the Salvation Army's life-changing programs right here in Watertown, New York.
"Doing the Most Good" — Together, We Make It Possible
The Watertown Salvation Army does extraordinary work — but they can't do it alone. FOWA exists to amplify that mission by connecting our community with the resources, volunteers, and funds needed to serve our neighbors in need.
Supporting food pantry operations, holiday meal programs, and emergency food boxes for individuals and families in crisis.
Helping fund rent assistance, utility support, and emergency shelter programs that keep families housed and stable.
After-school programs, summer camps, and family support services that give children a safe, nurturing environment to grow.
Join us at our upcoming fundraisers, community drives, and awareness events — every ticket, every dollar, every hour matters.
Our signature fundraising gala featuring dinner, live entertainment, silent auction, and inspiring stories from those whose lives have been transformed by the Salvation Army.
Help us collect non-perishable food items to ensure every family in Jefferson County has a full table this Thanksgiving. Drop-off locations throughout Watertown.
Join our volunteers for the official start of the Red Kettle Campaign. Ring bells, collect donations, and spread holiday cheer while funding year-round programs.
100% of every donation supports the Salvation Army's programs serving Watertown's most vulnerable individuals and families. Secure giving powered by Givebutter.
