Gilly's House is a non-profit residential program for men who are struggle with addiction. GIlly loved people fully and unconditionally.

GIlly's House was established in memory of Steven Gillmeister, Gilly, who passed away from a heroin overdose October 24, 2016 at the age of 25. GIlly had a big smile and an even bigger heart, and those who were close to him knew of his ability to light up a room and make friends wherever he went. He was always joking and laughing and could make you laugh no matter what kind of day you were having.

He would make up songs to cheer you up if you were having a bad day, and would drop anything to help someone in need. HE had hundreds of friends literally around the world, from California to Israel and Maine he touched the lives of countless people. Gilly began using drugs first as a social user, but later became addicted to opiates and heroin, which led to a long life of detox, recovery, rehab, sober living and relapse. Even during his struggle, Gilly was actively helping other addicts find ways to turn their lives around. He had a passion for helping others. Steven had the most success and comfort living in a sober home. With Gilly's House we hope to carry out hs legacy and continue to help those in need.

🎉 A huge thank you to The Rome Restaurant in Franklin for their incredible generosity! Yesterday, they donated a beautiful Italian spread to Gilly’s House in celebration of our House Manager’s 60th birthday — and it just so happens that chicken parm is his absolute favorite meal! 🇮🇹🍝🍗🎂

What a perfect way to honor not just his milestone birthday, but also his amazing journey of sobriety and recovery.💜

A special shoutout to Mike, a dedicated Rome employee of 8 years — what a wonderful young man and Beth Colace for going above and beyond to help make this day so special. 👏

We are truly blessed with so many amazing donors and supporters. Without your kindness and generosity, we couldn’t keep our doors open or continue helping so many men on their path to recovery. ✨️

Thank you again, Rome Restaurant — you helped make this celebration unforgettable.🍝 👌

Gilly’s House is having a series of cognitive intuitive art programs, given by Leslie Grant, Expressive Arts Facilitator. Our first class is called ‘Intuitive Collage’. We are in need of magazines: sports, gardening, fitness, health, travel…you get the idea. I realize magazines are not as popular as they use to be, but if you have some of these, you can drop them off at Gilly’s any time. Thanks in advance.
Greatly appreciated to make this a successful program.
