  • Mission

    We are a community of people who have experienced trauma and the results of trauma such as homelessness, addiction, and other mental health challenges coming to know we are loved and that we have gifts to share.

    About Us

    Recovery Café was founded on the knowledge that every human being is precious and beloved regardless of past trauma, mental and emotional anguish, or addictive behaviors.

    We provide a beautiful, safe, warm, drug and alcohol free space and loving community to anchor Members (our most closely-supported consumers) in the sustained recovery needed to gain and maintain access to housing, social and health services, healthy relationships, education and employment.

    Our program is designed to help people maintain recovery, reduce relapse and fulfill their potential. Important elements of this work include a healing milieu with free, nutritious meals, coffee, tea and lattes, birthday celebrations, Open Mic Nights, access to a computer lab, daily encouragement and a robust delivery of the message YOU MATTER; small, loving accountability groups called Recovery Circles; education through the School for Recovery; resource referrals, and more.

    We provide support, resources and a community of care along the entire continuum of a person’s need for recovery assistance. Whether in crisis, newer to recovery, in long-term recovery, after a relapse, during a difficult life change, or mental health transition, the Café is there as a refuge of care with evidence-based addiction support and love. We teach people ways to manage mental health, maintain sobriety, and build community. We help each individual reclaim life as a person worthy of giving and receiving love.
