About Vineyard House | A safe sober place to live for Islanders

A safe, sober place to live for Islanders in early recovery from substance abuse

How you can help

Please ask yourself: How much is a sober breath worth? What is it worth to the one who draws it and to his or her family and friends?

Your contributions fund the gift of sobriety DONATE NOW ONLINE
The gift of sobriety is priceless, but the cost of providing housing and programs for 24 men and women in three old houses for one year runs to $350,000. Our residents are required to pay a modest rent but even at 100% participation, our operating budget remains in excess of $250,000. As we accept no state or federal funds and are therefore able to reserve our beds for Islanders, we are completely dependent on donors like you.

There is usually a waiting list for beds in both of the men's houses and in the women's house. It is an heart-wrenching moment for those of us on the House Management and Screening Committees when we learn that someone has relapsed while waiting for an opening. The exciting news is that Vineyard House is well along in the planning of a beautiful new facility that will almost double our capacity. We will break ground for this project in Spring, 2009, and you will hear much more of the Capital Campaign early in the new year.

Donations allow the work to continue
For now, though, we ask you to be as generous as you can be so that our staff and community of volunteers, including trained professionals, can continue their work to help those who seek recovery.

A sober breath is a world of hope; it is the promise of a life second to none. Your gift will help make this come true.
