The Lockport Woman’s Club is a 501C3 charitable organization founded over 100 years ago.
The Club is strongly supportive of education which began with the founding of the Lockport
Library and continues with scholarships given to high school students who live within Lockport as well as a scholarship given to an adult woman seeking to further her education. Our current project funded through the Artisan Market at Canal Days and Spooky Night Out will contribute to the building of an interactive children’s park along the canal. We also contribute to many community based organizations such as Shady Oaks Camp, K9’s for Vets, Guardian Angel Home, Lockport FISH Pantry and food baskets at Christmas and Easter.
