We're a nonprofit Café with a mission to help women in recovery.
Café Appalachia hopes to inspire West Virginians to change the narrative around Substance Use Disorder. Our goal is the reintegration of women in recovery back into society. We do so through economic development, education, employment training, and teaching basic life skills.
Our Mission
To break the cycle of addiction by providing prevention, treatment, and reintegration programs for women.
Our Vision
Pollen8 envisions an Appalachia where women are no longer bound by Substance Use Disorder.
How We Help
We’ve created a recovery ecosystem that provides support for women in recovery to be successfully reintegrated back into communities.
A greater purpose
Grow. Feed. Teach.
Pollen8’s primary Social Enterprises – Café Appalachia, Café Downtown, Café Catering, and Cultiv8 – help women by raising socio-economic status and providing a sense of belonging. From a restaurant and catering business, to agricultural skills — women will learn to embrace their purpose, break the monotony of life, improve their financial position, and have the means, resources and relationships to avoid returning to where they came from.
