"A donation-based restaurant operated by Serenity Star Recovery in Smithville that is tied to vocational and recovery support: it was funded in part by contributions redirected from a local trailer’s sales and by funds raised to complete Serenity Star’s women’s and family centers. The operation serves as both a community-supported eatery and a training/employment avenue for people in recovery, with ongoing efforts to place participants into paid positions in nearby Austin restaurants." - Nadia Chaudhury
