THE EMPTY STOCKING PROJECT
The Empty Stocking Project is the largest and most widely recognized program of the Saratoga County Children’s Committee. There are hundreds of children living within Saratoga County who need assistance yearly, but the holiday season can be the most trying time of year for parents and caregivers. Our mission is to embody the holiday spirit by helping to provide these families with a joyous holiday. Each year, we are able to provide 900+ children living in Saratoga County with a wonderful holiday season because of your help. SaratogaChildrensCommittee.org/emptystocking-project.
When money is the main concern for families during one of the happiest times of the year, the Franklin Community Center is here to help. We take gift requests from children and parents and leave it to the citizens of Saratoga to help those in need and try to find a glimpse of happiness through these difficult times. We work to ensure all families throughout the county in need receive help. • If you find yourself in need of holiday assistance please call 518-587-9826 x 225,
Monday - Friday between 10am - 2 pm. • Those looking to donate should email @Jen@franklincommunitycenter.org. Visit FranklinCommunityCenter.org programs-services/holiday-assistance or for further information.
