Our Mission
Recovery Café Orting Valleys’ mission is to provide a healing community for those impacted by life challenges.
Individuals and families in our community are often impacted by substance use, addiction, violence, and/or mental health concerns. We are a community of individuals who recognize there is hope and healing as we come together to support one another.
We are living proof that living a life in recovery begins in a community where we know we are loved and that we have gifts to share.
