Every survivor deserves meals that nourish more than hunger. When someone comes to Freedom for support, something as simple as a meal can create space to breathe, focus, and take their next step forward.

In 2025, café guests purchased a total of 611 survivor meals to help ensure individuals accessing services at Freedom had a meal and a moment of care while they were here.

It’s a small add-on that becomes something much bigger. The next time you visit the café, you can add a survivor meal to your purchase, and help make sure every survivor has a seat at the table. 💛

There's nothing better than spending an afternoon with the Freedom family! Our annual Freedom Family Picnic was filled with laughter, connection, and fun, and we couldn't have asked for a better day.

A special thank you to Gordon Food Service for providing lunch, donating ice pops, and sending an incredible team of volunteers to help make the day such a success. Thank you to Dry Ice Ohio for helping keep our food and treats cool, and to Angela's Fun Faces for bringing smiles (and colorful faces!) to the picnic.

Thank you to everyone who came, connected, and celebrated with us. Days like this are a beautiful reminder of the strength and joy found in community. 💙
