Recovery Cafe Helping People Overcome

VIDEO – MORE THAN COFFEE –

Jan. 24, 2024 – Accepted. Loved. Worthy. Those are the feelings tied to the mission of the Recovery Cafe.

A vision spread around the country to help people battle their inner demons and come out on top. Lexington is a part of that goal, one of 66 spots Recovery Cafe has chosen as a base of operations.

“Our definition of recovery is expansive and inclusive. We believe we are all in recovery from something, whether it’s trauma, homelessness, incarceration, substance abuse disorder, or mental health challenges,” executive director Aaron Guldenschuh-Gatten said.

Leaders at the cafe focus on building a community atmosphere for those who come in as guests.

From group meals and activities like pottery to a large recreational area for folks to blow off steam, there’s a lot of fun to be had by people in need of a positive environment.
