Some people go their whole lives without ever seeing a miracle. At Limen House, we've been seeing them every day for over 45 years. As friends and supporters of Limen House, you have not only seen them, but also helped to create them.

Now celebrating over 45 years of helping alcoholics and addicts reenter society as fully functioning and productive members, from its' inception in 1969, ( about how Limen House began…) the Limen House philosophy has been to provide a temporary home for those with no place to live. There the alcoholic learns to change their life and help themselves in an atmosphere of compassion and loving concern. They learn to be responsible for their own choices. The aim is truly restoration - a new life restored to the community.
