​
Why the Giving Hope Legacy Society?
Since 1890, Gateway Longview has a rich history of caring for the children and families across Western New York. Founded by faithful parishioners focused on serving orphaned and abandoned children, Gateway was originally known as the Buffalo Deaconess Home of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Longview Niagara was originally named the Protestant Home for Unprotected Children. In 1996, the two organizations merged to become Gateway-Longview.​
Although Gateway Longview historically relates to the Christian Community as a whole, Gateway Longview is a private, not-for-profit, charitable organization as defined by state and federal laws. Gateway Longview affirms all persons as being equally valuable in the sight of God.
Today, Gateway Longview continues our rich heritage of holistically caring for the needs of young people and their families by providing a spectrum of highly specialized care and treatment programs.
While our services and programs have evolved to address the ever changing needs of our community over the years, our commitment to working together to protect, to give hope, and to enrich the lives of every child and family we serve has remained steadfast.

Approach To Care

We ensure that all services are client driven with access to early screening and comprehensive assessments.
