The Support Cafe began with a simple idea:

People deserve a place to go when life feels too heavy to carry alone.

We’re not a clinic, a case manager’s office, or a government program. We’re a community of real people — building a space where honesty, rest, and recovery can happen side by side. No pressure to perform. No need to prove. Just coffee, calm, and connection.

We know what stigma feels like — the shame that clings to addiction, mental health, grief, or being poor in a town that says you should just work harder. We see what trauma does — how it echoes through families, generations, and choices. We’ve lived through the quiet ache of depression, the chaos of disease, and the silent mornings where it feels like no one’s coming.

That’s why we’re here.

Not to fix you. Not to track you. But to welcome you — fully — whether you’re walking through recovery, showing up for your kids, fighting to stay housed, raising your grandbabies, or simply trying to survive another day.

No judgment. No expectations.
Just a table. A chair. And someone who gets it.
