It was in March of 1996 when the Serenity Street Foundation received its 501(c)3 non-profit designation from the Federal Internal Revenue Service. Shortly thereafter, the doors opened for our very first resident at Serenity Street. At the time, a duplex located at 1138-1140 S. High St. served as the program house for the organization. Since its inception, over 1200 men have come through the doors and over 400 of them are living sober and productive lives as contributing members of society. We received a grant in 2011 in order to build a new residential care facility located at 32 E. Woodrow Ave. Across the street is our graduate house. Every year I receive phone calls from graduates thanking me for the crucial role Serenity Street has played in their recovery. It is very rewarding and humbling to know that The Serenity Street Foundation has impacted the lives of so many men.
Fortunately, we have been able to establish an excellent team of staff and volunteers who are very dedicated and committed to faithfully serving our guys. It has been only by the grace of God that all of this has transpired. Whenever someone reaches out for help, we want the hand of Serenity Street to be there for men suffering from the detrimental effects and devastating consequences of addiction. Together we can make a difference – one person at a time!
