Saratoga County Children's Committee The Saratoga County Children’s Committee, Inc.

(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 generosity 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. If you’re interested in learning more about our unique programs, or want to get involved, visit our website https://www.saratogachildrenscommittee.org/ or message us directly on Facebook!

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL — THANK YOU! ❤️

What a way to start the school year!

Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners, this year’s Back to School Project provided:

🎒 50+ backpacks for students at Corinth High School
✏️ Backpacks and school supplies for 20 elementary students
👟 Backpacks, supplies, back-to-school outfits AND new shoes for 27 local children

Some of you shopped for individual children. Some donated backpacks and supplies. Some gave monetary donations that helped us fill in the blanks. However you helped, you were part of making this happen.

Altogether, nearly 100 local children and teens are starting the school year a little more prepared and confident because this community showed up for them.

To everyone who shopped, donated, packed, delivered and supported this project — THANK YOU! ❤️

We couldn't do it without you.

Kicking off summer with kindness ☀️❤️

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Jump Into Summer Program. With your help, we were able to provide 55 local children with shorts, T-shirts, sandals, bathing suits, towels, and other summer essentials. 👙🩴

For many of us, these items are easy to take for granted. But for the families we serve, they can make the difference between sitting on the sidelines and fully participating in summer fun.

Thank you for helping our local kids feel included, confident, and ready to create summer memories. Your generosity has a direct impact, and we couldn't do it without you. 😊
