❤️ We Need 5 Gift Cards for Our Holiday Sober Social this Friday December 19th ❤️

At Recovery Café, a Sober Social is more than just an event — it’s a safe, substance-free space where people in recovery can connect, laugh, and build healthy relationships without the pressure to drink or use.

For many of our members, this is the first time they’ve ever experienced fun, community, and belonging sober.

We’re currently looking for 5 gift cards (restaurant, coffee shop, bowling, movies, etc.) to help us host our Holiday Sober Social. These gift cards allow us to: ✨ Create engaging activities
✨ Encourage social connection
✨ Offer positive rewards and experiences
✨ Keep events accessible for everyone

If you or your business would like to donate a gift card, your support directly helps people in recovery feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Please comment below or message us if you’re able to help. Thank you for standing with recovery and helping us build community — one sober moment at a time. 💙

Sharing from his Sister and brother's page. Jeff is an active member of the café. We heard from him on Thursday. Please share we are all worried about him!

PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE! My brother, Jeff Hopper is missing from Madison, Indiana. He has not been seen or responded to texts, calls since Friday morning. My other brother, Pete Hopper has filed a missing persons report. Jeff is 55 years old. He is extremely thin and uses a cane to walk. He lives in Madison Village and went for a walk around 7am Friday and hasn't come back to the home he shares with my other brother, Pete.

Today is , and I’m thinking about the faces we see every week at Recovery Café.

The mom who’s fighting to get her kids back.
The man who said he hadn’t felt “seen” in years until he walked through our doors.
The person celebrating one more day sober surrounded by people who truly understand.

Your Giving Tuesday donation helps us:
🧡 Serve warm meals and coffee
🧡 Provide Recovery Circles and classes
🧡 Create a safe, judgment-free space where people can heal

If your heart feels pulled, please consider sowing into this work today.

No amount is too small. Together, we’re reminding people they are worthy, loved, and never alone.

There are so many people walking through life carrying silent battles—addiction, grief, loneliness, trauma—yet still trying to find a reason to get up every day. At Recovery Café, we see them. We sit with them. We feed them. We listen without judgment. And we remind them that they are worthy of love, healing, and community.

But the truth is… we can’t do this work alone.

Every meal served, every Recovery Circle offered, every hug, every resource, every moment of hope—it’s all made possible because people like you believe in second chances. You believe in redemption. You believe that no one should ever have to fight their battles in the dark.

If Recovery Café has touched your heart, inspired you, or helped someone you care about… I’m asking from a place of sincerity: please partner with us.

Your support keeps our doors open.
Your generosity keeps the lights on, the meals hot, and the love flowing.
Your donation—big or small—directly impacts a human life.

All it takes is a moment.
Just text RECOVERYCAFE to 53555 to donate.

You’re not just giving money—you’re giving hope. You’re giving stability. You’re giving someone a chance to breathe again, believe again, and rebuild their life brick by brick.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for choosing compassion. Thank you for helping us continue this mission of healing and belonging. ❤️

Thank you to everyone that donated, helped serve, and my staff. This wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for you. I'm thankful for all the help. Thankful for everyone that came and enjoyed a meal and fellowship. We were able to serve 80 meals and played bingo with some prizes. Successful 3rd annual Friendsgiving! 💜

Today is International Men’s Day, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge something we don’t talk about enough: men’s mental health.
Behind the strength, the jokes, the work, and the “I’m fine”… there are battles many men fight silently.

To every man carrying weight you never speak about — your feelings matter. Your struggles matter. Your healing matters.

Check on your brothers, husbands, fathers, sons, friends.
Strong men don’t stay silent. Strong men ask for help, talk about what hurts, and take steps toward healing.

Let’s make space for men to not just survive, but to thrive. 💙
