We are delighted to welcome the high school students taking part in our Social Justice Institute to Rosie’s Place this summer. This educational and enriching program offers teenagers opportunities to learn about social justice issues while also participating in hands-on service projects that support our community. We are so grateful for their energy, enthusiasm and curiosity. #student #impact #communityservice

Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States.
About us
In Massachusetts, 1 in 10 residents live in poverty. More than 15,000 people are homeless on any given day. And a stunning 1 in 3 adults are considered food insecure. Rosie’s Place addresses these critical needs by providing comprehensive, compassionate, immediate and expert support to every woman who seeks our help. The mission of Rosie’s Place is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to help poor and homeless women to maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives. Rosie's Place relies solely on the generosity of our individual, foundation and corporate supporters. We do not accept city, state or federal funding so that we can maintain our independence.

Too often, our guests struggle to have the necessities they need to make it through the day. We’re hoping you can help us meet the need for these essential items by creating Care Packages we can distribute to the hundreds of women who visit us daily. For information about the types of items to include, watch this video or visit our website to learn more about the logistics of donating. #volunteer #impact #boston
