Recovery Cafe Lexington is a peer-led, peer-run community space for individuals to build recovery relationships and find supportive resources. We aren’t the type of café that sells sandwiches or lattés; we're a gathering space for folks on a recovery journey and our allies. We celebrate every type and pathway of recovery (substance use, mental health, housing insecurity, and more). No matter the need, we have resources to help; whether you or someone you know is in long-term recovery or contemplating making a change. We invite anyone to attend a support group, a sober social event, or see a Recovery Coach who can help be a guide through unique challenges. A new life is waiting for you!

OUR VISION   To empower people in their own recovery with a welcoming community driven sanctuary to connect with one another, heal, feel accepted, loved, and worthy of success in their life.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES   1.Connect with divine Love in ourselves and others, 2. Show Respect  3. Cultivate Compassion, 4. Practice Forgiveness, 5. Encourage Growth, 6. Give Back

The Monster Mash and Dash 5K Glow Run will support direct services at Recovery Cafe Lexington, including School for Recovery Learning Programs, Weekend Life-Enrichment Retreats, Sober-Social Events, and  direct financial assistance to program participants.
