You can make a difference

At Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, we believe early childhood education is crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty. With Syracuse experiencing one of the highest rates of childhood poverty in the nation, our Pre-K program offers a lifeline to our community’s youngest and most vulnerable learners.

Your support levels the playing field, giving children the opportunity to thrive. You lift up the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and doers here in Syracuse. Most importantly, you make this difference for the kids who need it most — those who face poverty, limited options, and uncertain futures.

The need is urgent. Right now, our Pre-K program faces a $542 deficit per child. Your gift can bridge that gap for the 187 children in our care. With your help, we can offer students a positive start – one that is proven to create brighter futures.

Please consider making a gift in any amount that is meaningful to you.

Thank you for investing in the future of these children and the future of Syracuse. Together, we can make a profound difference, one child at a time.
