A LANDMARK CELEBRATION

Peeler Hall, Hunt Hall honor two Lifeline stalwarts while providing new housing for 50 men

With addiction recovery as our mission, Lifeline counts success first in the lives of our graduates – those who complete our ninemonth program and return sober to their families and jobs.

Other victories lead to that ultimate success, when you help our clients find their way to graduation.

We celebrated two such victories July 1, 2021, a landmark day in the Lifeline story.

Lifeline marked the opening of two men’s dormitories at our Morgan Lane campus, providing efficient, modern housing for 50 men in different phases of their treatment. The $800,000 investment was funded completely by local support.

On July 1, the dorms were named and dedicated in honor of two significant Lifeline supporters:

The first dorm was dedicated as Peeler Hall, honoring one of Lifeline’s founders and retired executive director Terrye Peeler.

“This has been an awesome day in so many ways,” said Terrye, executive director from 2008 to her retirement in 2019. “God is so good. I’m so honored!”

Peeler Hall was completed in 2020, during the pandemic, to serve 20 men during their first phase of treatment. The 2400-square-foot facility cost $250,000, funded by donations in large part from the Lifeline board and A&K Construction, whose president Kenny Hunt serves on the board.

Next door is the second dorm, Hunt Hall, named for Hunt’s continued devotion on the board. His company built the second dorm for 20 men in the second phase and 10 men in the third phase of treatment. (See Hunt Hall donors on page 18.)
