🌈🎤 Open Mic Magic for Pride Month! 🎤🌈

Last Friday, we kicked off Pride Month with a bang! 💥 From soul-stirring poetry to dance moves that lit up the room, our Open Mic was a beautiful celebration of music, talent, and self-expression.

✨ The room was packed with joy, laughter, and community spirit and yes, our special guest (a sparkling unicorn 🦄) stole the show!

Every other month, we open the stage to our incredible members, staff, and volunteers to showcase their talents.

🎶🌟 Thank you to everyone who shared their voice, danced their heart out, or simply showed up with love.

Eight Café members stepped into new leadership roles as Peer Support Interns this month at Recovery Café! Peer Support Interns are members who have stabilized in their recovery journeys, completed our job training program in behavioral health, navigated the application and interview process, and been chosen to serve as mentors and guides for new Cafe members on the path behind them. Being a Peer Support Intern is not only a way for members to give back to the Cafe; it’s also a valuable opportunity to grow professionally and gain experience for future employment in behavioral health. Congratulations to Rosanna, Laura, Rico, Az**el, Jackie, Margaret, Kathy, and Brian!

👏 Huge congratulations to Teresa Morris, recipient of this year’s Marianne Gallagher Volunteer of the Year Award at our Opening the Door event! 👏

For over three years, Teresa has been a pillar of compassion and energy at Recovery Café San Jose. When our chef was unexpectedly out last fall, Teresa jumped right in—picking up food, preparing meals, and leading the kitchen team to make sure our members were nourished with care. 💪🍲

Since then, she’s also become a master behind the Cafe Bar, bringing smiles to every Latte Hour with her barista skills ☕✨
Teresa gives her time, heart, and energy selflessly—and it lifts the entire Café community. We’re endlessly grateful for you, Teresa! 💜

Nothing like a little inspired with and homemade soup on a beautiful Friday! Happy weekend everyone ❤️
