The Magdalen House
Our New Home: 4513 Gaston Ave.
Buy a Brick, Give Women Hope
Whether you’re a woman in recovery or an advocate for The Magdalen House, your customized brick tile will give hope to countless alcoholic women for years to come.
Each customized brick tile will be placed on the “Wall of Hope,” a freestanding wall that creates a semi-enclosure to the Meditation Garden.
Bricks from, and honoring, alcoholic women in recovery will face the Meditation Garden under the words “The Other Side” inscribed at the top, with bricks from advocates and supporters facing the main house.

The Need
OUR CURRENT SPACE
We have a frequent waitlist for our Social Detox Program, with an increased number in first-time admissions, and in 2019 58% of clients had never sought help for their alcoholism.
Our Peer Recovery Program continues to grow through increased meeting and fellowship event attendance, up by 13.5% in 2019, and the addition of The Next Step, a non-residential program.
Our current location, a 1952 former duplex, has experienced 22 years of wear and tear and has become too small and worn for the growing number of alcoholic women seeking help through our no-cost recovery services.
The Future
THE NEW SPACE
Expanding from 14 to 20 beds, we will be able to help 40% more alcoholic women through our Social Detox Program while still keeping an intimate atmosphere.
With a Community Room double the size of our current space, we will be able to hold twice as many women and families for daily meetings and monthly fellowship events.
Commercial-grade construction makes the house withstand years of use, while the residential design makes it feel like a home.
Public transportation access directly in front of the house and proximity to local partners and resources allows us to be more connected to our community.
