(SCCC) is a non-profit organization based in Saratoga Springs, New York dedicated to meeting year round emergency and basic needs of underprivileged children throughout Saratoga County. The Saratoga County Children’s Committee (SCCC) is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to assisting the children of Saratoga County and beyond with the belief that each child needs to know someone cares. The gen
erosity of our community and “friends” within it, has allowed us to grow and serve over 1,000 children each year - from emergency and basic needs to school supplies, clothing, holiday gifts and much more. We work alongside local agencies including The Franklin Community Center, Economic Opportunity Council, Saratoga Mental Health, Saratoga Early Intervention, school counselors, and individual social workers. As the needs of children vary due to their unique and specific circumstances, so do our programs, which span across every season and focus on where assistance is most needed. SCC provides necessary relief in emergency situations, in addition to our set programs, outlined below:
● Summer Camp - The Committee sends over 25 children to summer camp each summer.
● Back to School Program - Every year the program provides 50 children in the community with a backpack and a set of school supplies for the upcoming school year.
● The Empty Stocking Program - Each holiday season, the program provides over 950 children and teens with a Christmas. The children come from agency and school referrals with a “Wish List” of items, which include basic winter supplies and small gifts.
