Dear Friends of Gilly’s House, What a day! ❤️ We want to take a moment to say a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our 5th Annual Gilly’s House Summerfest 2026 such an incredible success. This event truly takes a village, and we are incredibly grateful to every person who played a part. Thank you to our:
- Sponsors and generous donors
- Local restaurants and food donors
- Resource table participants
- Activity providers and entertainers
- Board of Directors
- Staff
- Residents of Gilly’s House
- Volunteers
- And every single person who showed up, pitched in, donated, or helped make the day possible
Summerfest is about so much more than a fun day. It is about making connections. It is about bringing people together, connecting individuals and families with resources, creating friendships, and reminding people that they are never alone. We are incredibly proud of what Gilly’s House has accomplished over the past eight years. During that time, we have helped more than 300 men and their families find a path toward long-term recovery, stay healthy, and move forward with their lives. And we could not do it without you! Gilly’s House receives no regular government funding and no insurance funding. We rely on the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community supporters to continue our mission. But our work goes far beyond sober living. Throughout the year, we offer support and connection through programs and events including: ❤️ Our Annual Mother’s Luncheon each November for 80 mothers who have lost a child, regardless of the circumstances of their loss. 💙 Our Men’s Barbecue, held each June, for men who have lost a loved one to overdose or suicide. 💚 Supper with Siblings, a monthly support gathering for siblings who have lost a brother or sister to addiction. And always, Gilly’s House is an open door for anyone looking for help. If we cannot provide the specific resource someone needs, we will do our best to connect them with the right people and organizations. That is what community is all about. So, from all of us at Gilly’s House, thank you. Thank you for believing in our mission, for showing up, for donating, for volunteering, for sharing our story, and for helping us create a community filled with hope and recovery. We are blessed beyond words to have you in our corner. We truly could not do what we do without you. With heartfelt gratitude, The Gilly’s House Family P.S.
