Dove House couldn't be more excited to be a part of The Giving Machine this year!

In Dubois County, one of Dove House’s new initiatives is an Al-Anon meeting for families of those with substance use disorder.

Supporting someone with this disease can be tough. Our goal is to create a safe space for families to connect, share, and maybe even find some healthy ways to cope.

We’re all in this together, as one community, standing against substance use disorder.

Join us at our next meeting on November 16 in Dubois County.

On Halloween we held our annual Chili Cook-Off and it was a deliciously good time.

Four staff battled for title of the best chili, while the remaining staff and Doves enjoyed a tasty chili lunch with all the fixings and a few holiday treats!

Can you guess what movie inspired the staff costumes?

At Dove Recovery House for Women, we are honored to serve 55 courageous women each night as they work toward healing. With this level of care, our need for everyday household essentials grows quickly and consistently.

We are humbly asking for help with some immediate needs to continue providing a safe, supportive environment for women on their recovery journey.

Thanks to the generosity of this community, Dove House is able to keep serving women across Indiana with dignity and care at no cost.

Last week, Dove House was joined by our friends from Barnes Dennig , who volunteered their time to help us prepare for upcoming renovations and expansion completion.

They pulled weeds, uninstalled hardware, cleaned and painted! We couldn't be more grateful.

We love to have volunteers onsite.

Looking for volunteer opportunities? Soon we’ll be seeking volunteers to help with holiday preparations and other seasonal needs.

🎃👻🍫Over the weekend we hosted our annual Trunk-or-Treat in Marion County.

It’s always great to see some sober fun in action. It's even better when we get to involve the families and friends of the women we serve. Days like this remind us that at the core of our mission, families and communities are those who benefit most from the work done at Dove Recovery House for Women.

Thank you to those who came and volunteered, and to those who donated candy. All together we gave out 55 pounds of candy to Doves, their families, and families from the surrounding community.

We had a great time and can’t wait to do it all again next year!

🎉 Friday Progress Update 🎉
It’s been another incredible week at the Bridge to Dove construction site! Crews have been hard at work — siding is going up, the chimney roof is on, ductwork is moving along, and sidewalk, plumbing, and electrical systems are all making strong progress. Every step takes us closer to opening the doors of for women in our community. 🛠️💙

None of this momentum would be possible without the steady hand and dedicated heart of Mr. Steve Forster. Steve serves as our Owner’s Representative, helping Bridge to Dove’s Board of Directors work closely with Force Construction. He brings deep knowledge, tireless commitment, and a true passion for this mission. Steve, your leadership is making a real difference — and we are so grateful for you.
Thank you for being a part of building a legacy of hope here in Bartholomew County. 💪💛

We’re growing externally, but we’re evolving as an organization too!

This month our team made a huge leap to a new electronic health record (EHR) system. After months of research and assessments to find a platform that best fits our needs, this is an exciting step forward as we grow.

The new EHR system will help with:
Compliance with all government standards
Increased data quality
Better service to the women we serve

This transition was made possible by YOU!

When you give to Dove House, you’re not only supporting women in recovery, you’re also helping us invest in the tools, systems, and infrastructure that make high-quality care possible.

Thank you to our teams in both Marion and Dubois Counties for putting the time in to transfer the data and get the new system up and running! Pictured here is our “Data Party” where we came together and got it done!
