The SCH Guild originated in 1957 when Helen Merin Ray, a member of the Sacramento Children’s Home Board of Directors, saw the need for a n auxiliary group. The Guild was formed to promote and advance the welfare of the Home. Their primary goals are to raise money to assist the Home with operation and service expenses. Since inception, the Guild has raised nearly 1.5 million dollars for the Home!
