Story and Mission
Door to Serenity started as a dream born out of grief . When Lisa Teggart , Founder & Executive Director , lost her only sister to an overdose , a fire was stoked in her heart . Lisa began her sobriety journey Dec . 21 , 2010 in the rooms of AA , but she knew there were too many people losing their lives to this vicious disease . After she told her friend about this dream , and said she didn ' t have the $ 2400 it would take to start it , he gave her $ 100 and said " go find 23 other friends to give you $ 100 and make this a reality !". With the love and support of so many friends and family , the dream for a safe place for people to begin rebuilding their lives began to take shape and Door to Serenity was born .
Within the structure of the 12 Steps , Door to Serenity was created to address the needs of those who seek help on their road to recovery , without respect to race , ethnicity , religion , sexual orientation or gender identity . Door To Serenity welcomes the underserved who have not always found an open door when seeking to begin the journey of living sober .
As a small , local non-profit Door to Serenity is dependent on the generosity of the community to continue to grow and serve those in need . Reach out and be a part of this organization .
