We Bloom

We Bloom addresses the persistent challenges of substance abuse, mental illness, and structural barriers to health and wellness in Indiana by operating under the Recovery Café model, which offers a welcoming space, shared meals, blended peer support circles, and resources to support individuals in their journey toward stability and well-being.

The Recovery Café model was created and is led by the Recovery Café Network, a convening agency for 84 adult Cafés and 3 youth Cafes around the country. We Bloom is a regional resource hub for communities across the Midwest that seek to establish their own Cafés.

We Bloom also independently operates two Cafés in Indiana, and all philanthropic dollars support this work serving more than 2,000 people on the road to recovery each year:

1) Recovery Café Indy (RCI) was the first Recovery Café in Indiana. It is a love-based peer recovery community which offers a space where individuals—regardless of their recovery journey—can find support, healing, and connection.  Membership is free and based on a commitment to weekly Recovery Circles, fostering deep relationships and accountability among peers.

2) Discovery Café Indy (DCI) serves youth by creating a peer-led, healing-centered community, acknowledging the unique challenges youth face and allowing them to cultivate resilience, belonging, and purpose.

Donations will help sustain RCI during a time of momentous change and instability in nonprofit funding at a state and federal level. Your gifts will directly equip us to:

• Support over 2,000 individuals
• Deliver 1,000+ hours of programming
• Train 30 Peer Leaders
• Provide tailored support including housing access, budgeting, and emergency financial assistance

For the people we serve, RCI is more than a program. It is a movement for community-led healing. With support from you we can continue to deliver this model of equity and self-sufficiency for those most in need.
