About Us

The Skaneateles Vincent House Guild is a group of women with a heart for children in need. Every year, as a committee, we raise money to support programming for children in the city of Syracuse. The programs we support are operated by Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, and provide early education in a safe, nurturing, (and fun!) environment.

The funds raised are used to:

Provide the financial means for Vincent House to run their Universal Pre-Kindergarten (“UPK”) program for an additional six weeks. A hugely beneficial poverty reduction strategy, the summer UPK program provides two healthy meals per day, access to resources and developmentally appropriate education in a fun, safe environment
Fund summer programming that takes these children on weekly field trips to local parks, museums and beaches in the area.
Pay for all of the costs associated with running the center. These things include staff, food, toys and utilities.

Our mission is to bring awareness to the great work that this organization accomplishes in the community. We invite you to join us this year at the annual cocktail party to celebrate and support this wonderful organization.
