About Us
Cerenity Recovery Café Anderson (CRCA) will hopefully open its doors Fall 2024 and serve those struggling with substance use issues, mental health challenges, trauma, and homelessness.
CRCA’s goal is to uplift and empower individuals within the recovery space to shift from surviving to thriving. The Café’s model takes a holistic and inclusive approach to recovery, with an emphasis on connection to oneself and one’s fellow community members. CRCA will offer services to its members, including regular recovery meetings, healthy meals, and a wealth of information for additional recovery resources.

Take things one day at a time, one moment at a time!

Loving Accountability: There is accountability that comes from being both deeply known and loved that transforms us.
Everyone Contributes: Members do not just receive services; everyone is expected to contribute to the running of the Café and to the healing of others.
Raising Leaders: Everyone is expected to develop their gifts, to lead at the point of their gifts, and to follow at the point of another’s gifts.
