it's a life-changing opportunity.
Your donation to The Green Door Cafe will change lives.

Many of those we help never imagined they would be able to work again or feel productive, but your contribution makes that possible.
With your support, we can provide job opportunities, life skills, and a pathway to recovery for those in need. Together, we can offer a second chance and empower people to rediscover their potential.
Meet “ Beth”
“Beth” is a young woman who has completed a four-year college degree. She secured an initial job post-graduation, and succeeded in her chosen career path for the next several years. But at the age of 27, Beth started experiencing disturbing hallucinations and delusions, along with disorganized speech and thinking. She started having trouble at work, and in her relationships.
Attempts by family and friends encouraging her to seek help were defiantly refused. It wasn’t until an unsuccessful suicide attempt that she finally received the care she needed, along with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
After her health was stabilized with an inpatient hospital stay, medication and professional support, Beth became interested in working again. Yet her repeated attempts to re-enter the workplace were unsuccessful, largely due to work environments that weren’t conducive to her particular situation. She started realizing her future may be without purpose and productivity.
Then, she learned about The Green Door Café.
