Paul Gilton is a resident at Magnolia House, a local sober-living facility. He recently began volunteering at St. Francis House. “I’m an addict and it’s hard, especially when your family also has addiction issues. But Magnolia House is helping me with that. And volunteering at St. Francis House is a big part of my recovery. I’ve gotten a bus pass, food and clothes from St. Francis House, but they love me for who I am and the most important thing I get from St. Francis House is the love.”
