Some reflections and highlights First, a big thank-you to our Member, Volunteers, and donors who made our Holiday Party a smashing success! We served over 100 meals, enjoyed some wonderful open mic acts, and everyone went home with a gift :) <https://mcusercontent.com/878120a4a1fd6bb8179418fd1/images/cbbf4b57-ad52-570b-e324-844540853a24.jpg> <https://mcusercontent.com/878120a4a1fd6bb8179418fd1/images/e8e627ca-303a-8cac-2cf7-adc69d04130f.jpg> Heading into the New Year is often a time for reflection over the year past and to foster hopes and dreams for the year ahead. 2023 was certainly a year of growth for us at Recovery Café! Personally, professionally, interpersonally, and programmatically. In February, we welcomed our sixth staff Member; in March, we added our fourth day of weekly meal service; in June, we added our eighth Recovery Circle; we started offering YMCA shower tokens and laundry vouchers; we adopted a Little Free Pantry and re“free”gerator; and we’ve hosted numerous other recovery support groups. Here’s some numbers: * Members served: 121 * Meals served: 9,068 * Total Recovery Circle meetings held: 382 * Unique volunteers: 74 * Volunteer hours: * 22 classes/workshops/events which met 228 times with 1,475 participants <https://mcusercontent.com/878120a4a1fd6bb8179418fd1/images/b6f33bcc-7c4c-b022-82f3-6b88a2ae629a.jpg> Looking forward, we hope to continue to build off the success of this year into next year.
