About Bailey’s Café
Bailey’s Café is a space of community healing and belonging — a secular church, a home, a kitchen table. Bailey’s welcomes all with an open heart, compassion and love, generating a culture of belongingness, non-judgment, acceptance, community, and space to be your full self. This is Bailey’s unique value.
November 25, 2023
With heavy hearts we acknowledge the passing of long time Bailey’s Family member and patron Mary Lou Shafer on November 25, 2023. A joyful loving generous spirit. We will miss you, Mary Lou.
The Shafer’s love music, especially the Blues and Jazz, every fall for the past eight years, we were able to fill their home with live music when they hosted our Intimate Fundraiser Salon. The photo, of members of the Bailey’s family, including the Shafer’s, is from the 2023 Salon celebrating the end of another great evening.
