Our Mission
To provide a safe and welcoming gathering place for 12-step recovery from addiction.
Our Vision
The 2021 vision for the Token 3 Club is to become THE meeting place for recovery in the Louisville region by formalizing operations and growing the community.
Our History
In 1965 the Token 3 Club incorporated as a non-profit organization located at Colony Way in Louisville, Kentucky’s St. Matthews area.
Our purpose in 1965 was “…to promote abstinence, continued sobriety, and the rehabilitation of persons who were alcoholic, by providing a meeting place for members.” AA meetings were held at this location, as well as social events and activities for the Club’s members.
In the 1970’s the Token 3 Club became a tax-exempt organization with a board of directors and by-laws, and moved to Dupont Circle, where the Club operated for 44 years. It was here that our facility began to offer support to those suffering from addiction of any kind.
In 2019 we had outgrown our space at Dupont Circle and moved to our current location on Breckenridge Lane. This location has three accessible meeting rooms, with a large common area and concessions.
Today
Addiction is a major crisis affecting individuals, families, and communities across the nation. The Token 3 Club fills a niche in combating this epidemic in our community. We provide a location for any type of 12-step recovery meeting.
We offer daily 12-step meetings to individuals that provide “peer-to-peer” interaction through shared experience, strength, and hope. Those just out of treatment can find others with long-term recovery to guide them through life’s challenges. Over 65,000 people visit us annually for 12-step meetings, to attend events, or to find support in their journey to recovery. The benefits we provide for addicted individuals, families, and our community are immeasurable.
The Token 3 Club welcomes any 12-step recovery group wishing to gather in a safe space. All are welcome here to find support in their recovery journey. Our doors are open seven days a week, offering sixty 12-step recovery meetings and fellowship.
Club Operations
The Token 3 Club is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charity and is not affiliated with any 12-step organization. The Token 3 Club uses both revenue-generating activities and voluntary contributions made by individuals, organizations, and grants to sustain our operations. Earned income comes in the form of rent on our three meeting rooms which run from $15-25 an hour, as well as sales of concessions, literature, and recovery-related items. Our room ‘rent’ is a donation request, however, it is not a requirement.
Ways to Give
Making a charitable contribution to the Token 3 Club can be done quickly and easily either by check or online. Memorial giving, as well as estate planning, are options.
