When students talk about what they get from Watershed, they talk about real-world experiences that matter — and a supportive culture that helps them grow into who they are. Yes, our students are challenged academically, but what they truly walk away with is something deeper: a sense of identity, independence, purpose, and belonging. And it’s within that sense of belonging that the power of community comes to life.

Filling Bowls, Feeding Hope: Watershed’s Second Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser
The success of this year’s event was truly inspiring, with a total of $7,093 raised! Of this amount, $3,750 came from ticket sales, and the remaining $3,343 was from donations (including a last-minute gift of $1,000!) and the sale of the handcrafted bowls. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and local businesses, the funds raised will provide over 7,500 meals for those in need.
