Narratives is excited to announce the launch of Narratives Kitchen & Coffee House building fundraiser!

This space will offer something we all need:

✅ Fresh, elevated food.

✅ Handcrafted coffee.

✅ A beautiful place to connect.

✅ A downtown Rock Island space to uplift and inspire.

You can partner with us today in raising funds to purchase an iconic building in downtown Rock Island.

Beneath every meal served and every latte poured, something deeper is happening.

This café will also serve as a training ground—quietly equipping local young adults with job skills, coaching, and a renewed sense of purpose. Many are emerging from seasons of disconnection or challenges, ready for a fresh start. What they need most isn’t just a job—it’s the opportunity to be seen, heard, and supported as they build confidence and envision a future full of possibility.

Because mental health begins with belonging, Narratives Kitchen will be a place where the public experiences exceptional service—and young adults gain life skills, confidence, and real hope for the future. It’s more than a café—it’s a catalyst for transformation that uplifts our entire community.
