At SOS Children's Villages, we are committed to providing safe, stable, loving homes. We do this by keeping brothers and sisters together in an individual home in the care of a full-time, professional Foster Parent. In so doing, we lay the foundation for rebuilding trust, confidence and hope for each child in our care. Our Lockport setting opened in 1993 and is situated on 20 acres, comprised of 18 single-family homes, an administration building, a community and learning center and a playground.

Office Hours of Operation:
Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm
Saturday/Sunday - Closed

Who can participate in SOS?
Children who would be eligible for Foster Care placement and want not to be separated from their siblings.
