The Café is where connections are made, and new friendships blossom, all while fostering a strong sense of belonging within the wider community. Step by step, a support network is built that empowers us to face our challenges together.
The Hispanic community, in particular, has found a warm welcome in these circles, now hosting two different weekly circles in Spanish. The Heart & Soul Café offers a safe space to share experiences, emotions, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. “We’re not just getting to know each other better; we’re learning to accept ourselves, embracing our challenges, and finding strength in unity,” says one attendee.
“By supporting one another, we’re creating a space filled with love, creativity, and understanding—a space where we can heal and move forward together.”
In addition to our regular weekly meetings, Heart & Soul has been organizing special monthly activities such as a nutrition class and a community summer BBQ —a fun-filled day of sharing meals, playing games, and connecting with new friends from across the island.
As part of the broader LIFRC programs, we continue to participate in workshops that empower and strengthen our collective well-being.
