Dovie Jones has been coming to St. Francis House for over four years for clothes and groceries. She describes herself as a mother, daughter, and writer and is working on getting a book published. She also likes to give back to her community and volunteers at another local food pantry. “I love coming to St. Francis House; it’s my favorite time. I get to shop and I LOVE to shop! Sometimes for me, sometimes I get things for someone else who needs it.” On her last visit, she even entertained staff and Phoneix House volunteer, Pauline, with her poetry!
