... for our Clients

Midland/Odessa Area AIDS Support, Inc. (MAAS), was originally founded to counsel, comfort and support individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families. The story of MAAS will always be the story of Judy Warren, MAAS founder, and her brother Larry Yates, who changed lives as he died and forced a community to look at itself.

... for Students and Parents

Founded in Midland, Texas in 1991, MAAS quickly evolved into an abstinence-based AIDS education ministry reaching out to area high school students and their parents, attacking misconceived notions of the disease, and potentially deadly sexual practices, at the source.





... for the West Texas Community

Like a spark in a dry forest, MAAS has spread AIDS awareness and community support throughout the entire West Texas region, and beyond. Judy Warren, MAAS founder, has delivered a uniquely powerful AIDS message to towns, congregations and audiences nationwide. MAAS services and programs have planted the seed of knowledge which has sprouted into community understanding, compassion and acceptance for those stricken with HIV/AIDS. Like ribbons of hope, life and light, the ripples emanating from MAAS fieldwork have changed the minds, and lives, of whole communities, and their HIV/AIDS-stricken members who most need them.
