We Do Recover!


Target: Local and Provincial Government Funding for Non Profit Ventures
Sponsored by: Serenity Cafe Inc.


This petition is to show the need of a non profit cafe designed as a community resource centre for those in recovery or seeking recovery from addiction and mental health issues.


Our mission is to provide a safe place for people in recovery, as well as professionals in the field and family members or friends that are affected by those in recovery, to relax and enjoy themselves in an informative environment.


The Serenity Cafe intends to work alongside other local community organizations to provide our clientele with the best service and resources for people dealing with mental health and addiction issues. We work together, not in competition of each other. The cafe is part of the operation but not all of it. There will be meeting areas for 12 step programs and community groups, as well as for speakers and information sessions.


This petition is to show the want and need from the public to secure funding for this innovative project.


Serenity Cafe Inc. is an innovative way of caring for our community - one sip at a time!

We, the undersigned, wish to express our agreement that there is a need in Hamilton for a recovery cafe for the downtown Hamilton area. We are offering our support as a community and as consumers for this venture. We feel that this will improve the downtown core and create a positive environment by promoting wellness and safety for those in recovery trying to better their lives in our community.


Goals:
  1. To help people in the community who are in recovery
  2. To solve some of the problems the core is facing by counteracting the negative stigma of addiction and mental health problems
  3. To provide a resource centre where all agencies can work together to  promote health and well being and encourage those struggling to find a new way of life


Mission:

To provide a safe place for people in recovery, as well as professionals in the field and family members or friends that are affected by those in recovery, to relax and enjoy themselves in an informative environment.


Overview:

The Serenity Cafe intends to work alongside other local community organizations to provide our clientele with the best service and resources for people dealing with mental health and addiction issues. We work together, not in competition of each other.
