Vincent Barzyński of the Congregation of the Resurrection, saw the validity of this request and immediately purchased several lots at Fry and Carpenter Streets for the sum of $75,000.

There are more than 160 walks throughout the nation, with walks scheduled from mid-January to mid-April.

At SOS Children’s Villages Illinois, we build families. We provide a stable home in a supportive community environment designed to help children in need grow into caring, productive, and self-reliant adults. To accomplish this mission, SOS Children’s Villages Illinois (SOSCVI) operates an 18 home Village in Lockport (opened in 1993) and a 16 home Village in Chicago (opened in 2005). SOS Children’s Villages are designed as complete neighborhoods with homes, a community center, a playground, other recreational facilities, and supportive services. Each home is headed by a full-time parent committed to raising up to six children at a time. Each foster parent is a professionally trained SOSCVI employee whose full-time job is to raise and nurture the children in their care. Unlike traditional foster parents, for whom parenting is often a temporary arrangement and who may have employment outside their home, SOSCVI parents make a full-time, long-term commitment to raising a generation of children in a family setting. In addition to Licensed Clinical Social Workers working with the children and families, we maintain a commitment to professional development, programs that foster emotional wellbeing, and a network of community resources to enrich the family experience and provide critical support. SOS-Kinderdorf International, the parent organization under which SOS Children’s Villages Illinois operates, began in Europe in 1945 when Hermann Gmeiner, a young Austrian medical student, came to the aid of children orphaned or abandoned during World War II. He opened the first SOS Children’s Village in Imst, Austria in 1949; today, SOS-Kinderdorf International is the largest child welfare agency in the world.
