At OLV Charities, we are dedicated to continuing Father Baker's legacy of caring for children, adults, and families in need. Venerable Nelson Baker's values drive everything we do, and we invite you to be a part of this legacy by donating to our Day of Giving.

Thanks to compassionate donors like you, we make a difference in our community through our mission partners:

• OLV Human Services (OLVHS). The direct descendant of Father Baker's work with young people, OLVHS has evolved into a leader in the field of behavioral health. Through a variety of programs, the agency provides a better future for children, teens, young adults and families, allowing all to fulfill their potential.  
• Camp Turner. A residential summer camp, Camp Turner is dedicated to its mission of helping young people discover God's love through nature.  This beloved program provides transformative experiences for children and teens through outdoor activities and camaraderie.
• OLV Basilica & National Shrine.  A beacon of faith throughout the region, OLV National Shrine & Basilica is a sanctuary of faith and worship for thousands.  Through worship, reflection, and community engagement, its vibrant faith community fosters a sense of togetherness and devotion for parishioners and pilgrims alike.

When you support OLV Charities, your donation has a broad and meaningful impact. Your generosity helps us empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds through essential services and programs that touch lives, create positive change, and continue the legacy of Father Nelson Baker.

We invite you to join hands with us in continuing his ministry of love and compassion. Your contribution -- no matter the size -- plays a significant role in building a better community for everyone. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal.
