ABOUT OLAMS

For over 20 years, Our Lady of the Angels Maternity Shelter (“OLAMS,” a 501c3) has met the desperate need of mothers in crisis. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the shelter and services are free for all clients. OLAMS provides a home and assistance to pregnant women, mothers, and their children.

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU

OLAMS provides three unique services to its clients and the broader community.

Emergency Shelter

The shelter is here to help you address the crisis you’re in. Together with our staff, you develop a plan to build the future you and your child deserve.

Aftercare

Support continues after you have successfully moved out of the shelter to solidify the foundation you’ve built and create a better future for you and your children. The Aftercare program continues the life skills courses, counseling, and case management services received at the shelter.

Material Assistance

The Material Assistance Program expands OLAMS' services beyond the shelter walls to the broader community of mothers and children. OLAMS distributes items such as diapers, formula, and car seats throughout Texas.

Client spotlight

Four pregnancies ending in four miscarriages. After finding out she was pregnant a fifth time, her doctor’s ordered bed rest at 12 weeks which meant quitting her job and giving up everything she felt she had worked for. She had overcome domestic violence, her drug-addicted mother’s suicide, and no family support. With the fear of bringing a child into such uncertainty, she turned to OLAMS who was able to provide housing, pregnancy and parenting classes, counseling, and case management. Cecilia’s daughter is now over a year old and the two are thriving. With the help of OLAMS, Cecilia is once again living independently and thriving with her daughter.
