Overview

Mission

The saratoga county childrens committee (sccc) is dedicated to meeting the year-round needs of underprivileged children in saratoga county and beyond with the belief that each child needs to know someone cares. Sccc is a volunteer organization without paid staff, and nearly 100% of the monetary donations are spent to provide relief to local children in need. Each request is handled on a case-by-case basis and in a timely manner. We provide a wide array of assistance, including supplying basic necessities, meeting emergency needs that arise from unexpected circumstances, and delivering school supplies, clothing, holiday gifts, and special request items.

What it reported doing in 2024

Empty stocking project - the empty stocking project is the largest program that the saratoga county childrens committee executes each year. The project typically serves over 1,000 children from low-income families in saratoga county. The mission is to embody the holiday spirit by giving local children gifts, clothing, and necessities during the holiday season that they otherwise would not have. The project begins in the fall when agencies and schools in saratoga county identify children who are in need. The committee then matches a sponsor with each child. Members of the committee, local individuals, civic groups, and companies work to fulfill a childs holiday wish list. This list may include toys, clothing, and other items the child wishes for. The committee collects the gifts, checks them against the wish lists for accuracy, and completes additional shopping, if necessary. The agencies and schools then retrieve the gifts and distribute them to the families in mid-december. Provided holiday gifts, clothing, and necessities to 1,035 children.
