Mission
SerenityStar provides a safe, sober & spiritual environment for families to recover from their addictions.
Program accomplishments
- In 2025, the organization opened Sweet Serenity, a donation-supported bakery, coffee shop, and gift shop in San Antonio. This new venture provides meaningful opportunities that further the organization's mission while serving the local community. During the year, the organization also completed several facility improvement projects to support resident services and accommodate program growth. These projects included the construction of a covered back porch for the women's dormitory, installation of a pergola over the outdoor stage at the Smithville caf location, and numerous upgrades to the family dormitory. In addition, construction began on a new yoga platform at the ranch property. The yoga platform was developed to provide a centralized space where all residents can participate in wellness and therapeutic activities together. This expansion was necessary due to increased program participation and the organization's outgrowing of its existing wellness center facilities.Expenses $1,750,281 · grants $66,543
