Our Mission

Our mission is to make a positive impact on our local community by meeting the physical, emotional and social needs of those seeking to connect with others through an opportunity to both be served and to serve in a profoundly compassionate environment.

Our vision is that anyone who is hungry, feeling alone or struggling in recovery can find love and compassion and fellowship at our café. We believe that acceptance, belonging and community are the foundation to lasting recovery.

Recovery Café Network

The Recovery Café Network was launched in 2016 to meet the growing interest from communities who wanted to learn about our model of healing and hope and bring it to their cities. Since then, we have walked with over 20 organizations, and are growing every year, to help them open their own Recovery Cafés. If you are interested in starting a healing community in your city as an alternative to the imprisonment and abandonment of people suffering from homelessness, addiction and other mental health challenges, the Recovery Café Network would love to support you in that quest.

The Recovery Café Network is committed to nurturing groups seeking to start recovery communities based on the Recovery Café model. Through a cohort learning model, organizations will be provided training, mentorship, materials, expertise, and facilitated learning experiences to create a recovery community in their area.
