Welcome to Mary's Shelter

We are here to serve teens in need of a loving & nurturing environment during their time of pregnancy & beyond.  Our program includes a home for expectant mothers and a facility to care for new mothers and their child after birth. If you know of someone needing our assistance, or are personally in need, please contact us immediately for a completely confidential assessment of your needs and our capabilities. We are fully licensed, and our professional staff is eager to discuss your situation. In the interest of protecting our clients, we can not provide a street address on this site, but would advise that we are in central Orange County, CA. We welcome your inquiry and would be pleased to schedule a convenient time to visit our facility.

OUR MISSION

Mary's Shelter saves lives by equipping and empowering homeless and at-risk pregnant teens, and minors with babies, for lives of hope, dignity and self-sufficiency.

PHILOSOPHY

Mary's Shelter is an independent faith-based nonprofit agency that adheres to Judeo-Christian values. Created out of a profound respect for the God-given gift of life, Mary's Shelter nurtures, protects and improves the lives of both mother and child. We promote premarital abstinence and do not condone abortion or contraception.

OBJECTIVE

Mary's Shelter strives to break the negative cycle associated with teen pregnancy: abortion, high-risk births with premature and low birth-weight babies, interrupted education, repeat teen pregnancy, poverty, dependence on public assistance and child abuse and neglect in the next generation.
