Feb. 27, 2022 – After dealing with the tragic loss of a son to addiction in 2019, Paul Williamson and his wife have built a thrift store and ministry for people battling the disease.
Outreach for Addiction Ministry is more than just a thrift store. Williamson, his wife, and others on the non-profit’s board hold meetings each month for people going through addiction recovery and operate a sober living home.
“I stood beside him through much of his battle as much as I could and he eventually lost his life,” said Williamson. “Through his struggle.”
Williamson says he hopes the store and ministry give others a little light, who may otherwise not have hope. “I was one of the people that always looked down on others for their drug addictions and their problems in their life and always thought they didn’t want better for themselves,” said Williamson.
Lead by faith, Williamson and his wife started talking to people suffering from addiction and listening to their stories while volunteering at rehab centers.
