*It is with great pleasure that we reach out to you today to summarize and update you on our ongoing efforts to support individuals on their recovery journey. As you know, our café is a beacon of hope and healing for those struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, and we are committed to continuing to provide a safe and supportive space for all who seek our services.
As we look ahead to the coming months, we are excited to announce several new initiatives and programs that we believe will further enhance our ability to serve those in need. We are more committed than ever to supporting the health and well-being of all members of the recovery community. Follow us on social media for upcoming sober social events and new partnerships with local organizations and community groups.

We received many compliments on the renovations, the Recovery Café model, and the overall atmosphere that day. We appreciate all the kind words we received.
