Recovery Cafe San Jose

The Cafe program is housed in a welcoming, safe, and sober environment in dowtown San Jose. Inside our walls, people who cannot afford traditional rehab and recovery services come to grow and belong to a community where they learn to trust that they are worthy of giving and receiving love. Our services include emotional support, education, and food assistance in the form of Recovery Circles (small weekly peer support and accountability groups); an 8-10 week School for Recovery held four times per year (classes in life skills, healthy living, inner healing & relationships, and addiction and recovery); access to a Clothing Closet and help navigating housing, government, and job training pathways; as well as two fresh and nutritious meals each weekday (breakfast and lunch). This year, Recovery Cafe provided more than 900 hours of Recovery Circles and 30,000 meals to an average of 173 monthly members, who reported an increase in personal health, happiness, and self-worth, which translated for many to new energies for living and a capacity to fulfill one's potential across a wide spectrum of possibility. In addition, 143 Cafe Members graduated from the School for Recovery, and 450 people utilized the Clothing Closet.
