About this Event

We are excited to introduce our newest offering—Friendship Cafe Hours at Connect 2 Rise!


These weekly gatherings are designed for anyone feeling isolated, looking to make new connections, new to the city, or navigating life transitions. Friendship Cafe Hours warmly welcomes empty nesters, retirees, remote workers, stay-at-home parents, and anyone seeking a cozy, inviting space to connect.

Come join us to sip, socialize, and build lasting friendships—because no one should have to be alone. Each session features engaging activities, future guest speakers, and occasional outings throughout the year, making every visit something to look forward to. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a warm drink, share meaningful conversations, and experience a true sense of community.

All ages are welcome! Age is not a barrier, as we learn, grow, and connect across generations, enriching each other’s lives through shared experiences and fresh perspectives.


What to Expect:

  • Complimentary Coffee, Tea & Beverages – Enjoy warm, comforting drinks throughout the afternoon. We have a variety of coffee brands and teas, feel free to bring your personalized mug!
  • 🎲 Games and Relaxed Entertainment – Bring out your playful side or unwind with a casual board game.
  • 🌐 Free WiFi – Perfect if you want to work remotely in a lively, supportive space.
  • Good Vibes – A community to celebrate with and share in the season’s warmth.


Why Attend?
The holidays can be a tough time for many, especially if you’re spending more time at home or missing in-person connection. Friendship Cafe Hours fills that gap, giving you a reason to get out, make new friends, and feel a sense of belonging. Plus, your $5-$10 donation helps fund community programs that keep us connected all year long.

Reserve Your Spot! Whether you're adjusting to a new life phase, working from home and missing face-to-face interaction, or just looking for a friendly community, Friendship Cafe Hours is for you. Secure your spot today and get ready to leave feeling uplifted, connected, and ready to embrace the season!
