Hi everyone,

We’re holding a short meeting to talk about what could happen if WIC benefits are interrupted due to the federal government shutdown. About 800 people in Fulton County use WIC to help buy food, and if there’s a pause, some families may need extra help or at least clear information.

Meeting Details

📅 Tomorrow, Oct 3

🕚 11:00 - 11:30 AM

📍 Rochester City Hall

💻 A Zoom link will also be available for those unable to attend in person

We’ll walk through what this might mean locally and how we can keep families informed and supported.

Hope you can join us in the room. Share this with anyone in your network who may be important to attend.

This is NOT for people needing food support. This is for anyone involved in providing food and supporting people who are food insecure.

August is National Overdose Awareness Month.
Every life lost is one too many. The truth? The change we need won’t come from a program or a grant — it will come from us. From neighbors showing up for neighbors, from conversations we’re brave enough to start, from carrying the tools and the hope that save lives.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved, this is it.
📖 Read our guide on how you can help lower the overdose rate here: https://www.thesupport.cafe/overdose
🍽 Then, come find your people at our Wednesday Night Recovery Group — 5:00 PM at The Support Café, followed by Dinner at 6:00.

We’re all recovering from something. You belong here — guaranteed.

Every path.

Every history.

Every substance.

Every person who wants a place to belong while they do the hard work of healing.

We start at 5:00 PM with connection and conversation. Stay for the 6:00 PM Recovery Dinner, then stick around if you’d like for continued support and community.

You don’t have to sign up. You don’t have to explain yourself. You just have to show up.
Come as you are. We’ll meet you there. 💛

🎉 Happy Birthday to August 🎉

She’s our fearless, always-there, ready-to-help therapist at The Support Cafe — the one who shows up when people are struggling and stays when things get hard.

If you’ve met August, you already know: she’s steady, wise, and never halfway.
Today’s her birthday. Let’s make it count.

Drop her a message below — and not some one-click FB nonsense.
Tell her something real. Something she’ll remember.
She deserves that. We all do.

A Big Thank You to Fire Entertainment and the Patrons of Putt’s!

We are deeply grateful to Fire Entertainment for organizing a donation effort in support of the Fulton County Su***de Prevention Task Force — and to the generous patrons of Putt’s in Rochester who contributed.

Your $98 donation represents more than dollars — it’s a sign that hope and compassion can come from anywhere, and that every person matters in the fight to prevent su***de.

No matter where we gather or what brings us together, kindness makes the biggest noise in the room. 💛

Thank you again, Fire Entertainment, for using your platform to spark something good.
