Atlanta, GA (I-Newswire) October 19, 2011 - Mary Hall Freedom House, a nationally recognized leader in residential substance abuse, celebrates 15 years of comprehensive treatment to more than 3,000 women and children in the Atlanta area with the IMAGINE Gala.

“Our mission,” said Lucy Hall, founder and CEO of Mary Hall Freedom House, which is named in memory of her mother, “is to free women and women with children by empowering them to break the cycle of addiction, poverty and homelessness.”
