Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the first women-only shelter in the United States. What began as a safe place for poor and homeless women to get a bed and a meal in Boston has grown into a community center providing wide-ranging support and education services to 12,000 women a year.
"Never forget that charity is scraps from the table and justice is a seat at the table. Charity is giving to others what belongs to you. Justice is giving others what belongs to them.” At Rosie's Place, we believe diversity, equity and inclusion are core components of justice. We commit to acting on a daily basis to dismantle injustice to ensure that opportunities and equitable outcomes are available to all members of our community regardless of individual characteristics including race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation or perceived ability.
The guests of Rosie's Place have always struggled with hunger. But today - with inflation over 8%, food prices the highest they've been in 40 years, rent prices soaring, and energy bills forecasted to be 60% higher than they were last year- our guests who were already living on the edge of homelessness and instability are most at risk. Our Food Programs provide food access to hundreds of women a day, and are more important than ever to women who are desperately trying to get by.
In the spirit of giving, help me stock the cupboards of Rosie's Place this winter!
