  • ABOUT OLV:

    Founded in 1854 as a sanctuary for the homeless, abandoned and orphaned children, OLV has continued as a "City of Charity" today. The OLV organizations include one of WNY's largest social service agencies, OLV Human Services (formerly Baker Victory Services), a philanthropy and support services organization known as OLV Charities and the OLV National Shrine and Basilica, a parish and elementary school. The National Shrine is also the resting place of our founder, Venerable Nelson Baker.

    Each year, 10,000 - 12,000 children, teens, the developmentally disabled and families are cared for by OLV Human Services. Services that impact these vulnerable youth include mental and behavioral health services, foster care (including emergency foster care housing), dental clinic, educational programs and care for individuals with developmental disabilities.
