In 1972, a recovering alcoholic temporarily housed a friend in a cabin off of U.S. Route 301, about 10 miles south of La Plata. The friend had an alcoholic drinking pattern and was attempting to quit. Others in the recovering community volunteered their support and over time other suffering alcoholics used the small building as a "Home on the Road to Recovery."In 1974, a farmhouse in the Dentsville area was offered, and the Jude House activities moved there. Volunteers continued to see to the needs of men attempting to stop drinking.
Supporters of the Jude House successfully petitioned the Charles County Government for use of the old Bel Alton School building for their on-going work. The Jude House opened there in October of 1979.
The Jude House has grown from a strictly volunteer effort to help one man, into an organized program of recovery operated by both professional staff and volunteers. Over the years, the Jude House has responded to the needs of the addicted by offering whatever treatment services appeared to be most necessary.
In 1989, a grant made major renovations possible at the Bel Alton location. In 1992, the Bel Alton building was reopened and the Jude House began its present program -- a nonprofit, long-term, live-in/work-out format.
In November 2012, the Jude House began outpatient treatment in order to be able to provide a more extensive treatment plan for recovery.

I’m Terry Haley and after working with the public for almost a decade and raising three beautiful children it dawned on me that every year I go through the same thing: storing and boxing up last year’s school clothes and either donating them or just plain throwing them away; then thought why do I do that and does every parent go through the same old ritual?The kids out grow clothes every year and then before it starts, we run around like crazy people and have to get new clothes – it’s such a hassle, but we’ve been doing it year after year, over and over. It’s always the same.
Then I was talking with some people and a thought leaped into my head – Why not set up an exchange or swap meet where parents can donate last year’s clothes and pick up new clothes from what others would normally throw away or donate? The concept of Wish List of Smiles was born.
Through this Web site and by growing membership we could work together to create a network of neighbors helping neighbors with everything from school clothes and supplies to housing to virtual yard sales and more. We hope you will get involved, join our little group and make this the vibrant community of neighbors helping each other and really build something unique.
