1000’s of men and women.

one mission.

30 years of helping.
It was a simple dream and an old farmhouse. Dawn Farm has grown in 30 years to assist more
than 1600 addicted men and women each year. We offer residential services while others have closed. We
brought more than 900 addicted individuals through painful but necessary detoxification. We provided
outpatient help, support for women with kids and an outreach into the jail. We offered safe transitional
housing to more than 60 recovering people every day.
Over three decades, Dawn Farm has remained dedicated to a single idea—helping addicts and alcohol-
ics join the recovering community. We remain mission-driven, independent and passionate about helping
in creative ways. We look forward to coming to work each morning.
Thanks to our co-founders, for starting this miracle. To all of our good friends, volunteers, support-
ers, alumni and families—and to the Board and staff who work so hard to keep Dawn Farm alive:

thanks.

RECENT FARM NEWS

JAIL OUTREACH 2002
207 inmates joined our educa-
tional classes in the Washtenaw
County Jail. We helped them learn
about addiction and recovery—and
worked with many to help them
join the recovering community
when they were released. We
work closely with Washtenaw
Community Corrections to help
these folks.
CHAPIN STREET PROJECT
98 homeless residents got off the
street in 2002, most were sober
& independent a year later. FIVE
HOUSES/18 APARTMENTS!!!
More than 60 people affordably
housed each night and connected
to a clean and sober community.
Nearly 300 people have been
helped in this program over the
last 5 years!
Women’s Transitional Services
We cared for two pregnant addicts
and FIFTY custodial moms in 2002.
Two moms with three kids lived in
our Cedar Park apartments.
All of our residents must take
parenting classes—a whopping 91 men
and women attended in 2002...
We even had another “Farm baby”
born—our 16th since we began the
WTS program!
On May 21, 2003 our beloved
old farmhouse was destroyed
by fire. At this writing we are
working on a plan to rebuild
and to find a replacement
transitional house for the men
who were displaced. Our thanks
to our many friends who offered
to help—we will keep you posted
as we rebuild!

MISSION STATEMENT
