Rosie's Place

We are grateful to all our friends at Fidelity Investments who recently voted for Rosie’s Place to be this year's recipient of their Associate-Led YOUR CHOICE grant in the Boston community! This support will enable us to continue turning hope into help for more than 12,000 women every year. Thank you! #grant #thankyou #community

According to the 2024 Boston Indicators Report, among large U.S. cities, Boston has the second highest rate of homelessness. Fifty years after our founding, Rosie’s Place’s help has never been needed more. Every night, our shelter beds are full and each day, hundreds of women rely on the basic and vital services our Dining Room, Food Pantry and Day Shelter provide. Last year, our Dining Room served 152,000 healthy and culturally inclusive meals—a dramatic 47% increase from the year before. Over 12 months, we helped 2,014 women and their children remain housed, a 24% increase from the year before. In response to these increased and critical needs, we have launched a strategic plan that means, over the next four years we will grow all of our programming by 25%. With the support of our friends, we will continue being more and doing more for the women who need us most. #HHWEEK #welcome #getinvolved

No one should have to choose between eating or keeping their lights on. No one should be without a home or a safe place to sleep. This week, as always, we will provide welcome, help and hope to hundreds of poor and homeless women in need of shelter, food and support. Thanks to our wonderful community of friends, our doors will remain open to every woman who needs us for as long as she needs us. #HHWEEK #support #community

At Rosie's Place, we believe everyone deserves a seat at the table. Everyone deserves dignity, sanctuary and opportunity. For 50 years, we have worked to turn compassion into action and hope into help for the women who need us most. #justice #support #turninghopeintohelp

Reliable access to phones and computers can be a challenge for poor and homeless women. Every day, our guests have access to private spaces where they can make phone calls or use a computer to help them connect with loved ones, work on job searches, fill out paperwork and much more. #access #equity #technology
