Let's Open the Door to Health & Healing
Support our annual fundraiser today!
Recovery Café San Jose is a healing community for people working to recover from homelessness, addiction, incarceration, mental illness, and other life traumas. We provide a safe, loving environment where members can access nutritious meals, build new supportive relationships, heal in small group recovery circles, learn new job skills, and access life-affirming resources. Through connection and stability, we help people reclaim their lives, rediscover their worth, and build a future filled with hope and purpose.
In 2024 we supported 661 people through 1,010 recovery circles, more than 1500 hours of 1:1 mental health support, 420 School for Recovery classes, and more than 40,000 community meals. We do this with only five full-time and five part-time employees, and the support of an army of community volunteers and university interns. Life is beautiful.
In 2025 we are seeing a flood of new faces from the City's recent efforts to clear the homeless encampments, so in addition to our planned goal of expanding our job training and placement programs, we need to add staff so we can accommodate this tremendous increase in demand. Can you help us reach our annual fundraiser goal, and Open the Door to health and healing for more in San Jose? We need to raise $150,000 to continue our work this year. Any amount in support of our mission is so appreciated!
