Great Lakes Men’s Center of Hope Campus

Great Lakes Men’s Rehab began their first residential recovery program for men on 27th Street in 1983. Several years later, this program was moved to 44th and North Avenue on the north side of Milwaukee. The North Avenue facility housed up to 12 men and was opened by Reverends Gene Berres and Bob McDonald. By 1990, the men’s drug addiction rehab program had grown significantly and desperately needed additional bed space. With very few resources, God provided us with a two-acre campus able to house up to 30 male residents. With the help of many faithful supporters, we were given the ability to add a chapel and 30 additional beds to the men’s dorm in 2009. Low cost drug addiction treatment is made possible by generous donations from the community. Today, the Great Lakes Men’s Center of Hope Campus is considered one of the top Adult & Teen Challenge facilities in the United States.  The property consists of the Don Wilkerson Memorial Chapel, the Center of Hope Men’s Dorm, the White House Administrative Building, an eight-unit staff housing building, and a full-service Vehicle Donation facility.
