Welcome to The Gratitude Group

The Gratitude Group is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit Corporation seeking donations and volunteers to refurbish and maintain the two Drug and Alcohol treatment centers for indigent men and women in the Ingham, Clinton and Eaton County areas.

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PROGRESS!  Along with completing the demolition and installing new carpet in 3 offices, the day room (pictured below), the lower hallway and the stairs to the dayroom and second floor (middle picture), the new furniture is beginning to arrive.

Thank you all for your gracious support!  Our very sincere thanks to Ms. Suree Kang (Master Craft Carpet - Inkster, MI) for the carpet and carpet tile and Mr. John Ginnetti (Efficient Office Solutions - Livonia, MI) for donation of the furniture (seating in dayroom above) with more to come.  We also thank our volunteers, the Holden House Staff and clients for their support during the construction.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more."
"It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity ... it turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events."
"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melodie Beattie

The residents of The Glass House and The Holden House are, like the violin, “battered and scarred” from drug abuse and alcoholism. These men and women came to the treatment centers with lives “out of tune,” realizing that they must change their behavior in order to change their lives.

The Glass House and The Holden House give these people a safe place to reorganize their lives and develop new behaviors that will allow them to function effectively in society. It is a struggle, yet daily they work on recovery from their addictions, and seek new skills for living their lives. They are reaching out for help. It is a “thoughtless crowd” that doesn’t offer a helping hand.
