Its members, volunteers and staff as well as many in the larger community have been transformed by the love and hope experienced there. Founded as a single healing center in Seattle, Recovery Caf?'s impact has grown well beyond its walls--offering a new model for support and growth that could create sustainable recovery for women and men everywhere."--Melinda Gates, Co-chair, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"Recovery Caf?'s innovative, recovery, community model is powerful in helping individuals establish a foundation in recovery, and build on that foundation to become active citizens again. I am impressed that you have been operating that community model for more than 10 years. The use of peers and a welcoming community is gaining traction on a national level and I commend you for being ahead of the curve."--'Drug Czar' Michael Botticelli, Director, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy"Recovery Caf? is an oasis, a refuge, a place where those ignored by the larger culture are honored."--Sherman Alexie, Award-Winning Poet, Novelist and Short Story Writer
