With each purchase of our baked goods, you are helping make possible the provision of supportive housing, training, counseling services, educational opportunities, and self-help programs. On the Rise Bakery & Café is a program where each man is responsible to reach back and support the newest member. The social entrepreneurship would not have been possible without the tremendous support of so many churches and individuals in the metro Detroit area.
This is truly a story of what can happen when a community dreams of the impossible and believes in it. Miracles still happen!
Participants in the On the Rise Bakery program reside at the Reaching Our Potential Everyday (R.O.P.E.) House. Our R.O.P.E. Program provides men who have been incarcerated or completed a substance use disorder treatment program with a way to re-enter society. The one-year baker apprentice program with sober living gives them the opportunity to develop abilities that will solidify their sobriety, further their education, and hone their life skills.
To date, there have been more than 120 R.O.P.E graduates who credit the program with affording them new opportunities and a fresh start. Every purchase of baked goods from On the Rise Bakery and Café supports the program.
On the Rise Bakery & Cafe is located inside the Solanus Casey Center.
9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Closed on Sundays, Mondays and major holidays.
