We are SOS American Foundation.
At SOS American Foundation Inc., we are proud to deliver direct relief to the world's most impoverished communities with unwavering transparency and accountability.
Founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 2006, we are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to making a meaningful impact. We take action by collecting vital resources (food, clothing, medical supplies, educational materials, and toys) and we forge strong partnerships with local churches and charities.
Our experienced partners have decades of humanitarian expertise, helping us support orphanages, foster homes, older people, and veterans' groups across Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. Together, we are changing lives and making a difference where it matters most.

Moments from the field.
From your donation to their hands.
Every donation goes through three simple steps before it reaches the people who need it.
Trusted local partners
We work only with charity-donation organizations registered with their local government: churches and groups already trusted in the communities they serve.
Direct delivery
We collect specifically requested materials and route them through local partners, so aid reaches the people who need it.

Every distribution is tracked. Donors receive detailed reports describing how their generosity was used and the difference it made.
