Catering
Serving more than 100,000 healthy and delicious meals each year, Rosie’s Place depends on a network of volunteer catering groups to provide a meal to everyone in need.
Working Together, Building Community
Catering groups make a $350 donation to underwrite food costs and then prepare and serve that meal to approximately 150 women in our Dining Room. Rosie's Place staff designs a menu, purchases needed ingredients and guides your group through the meal preparation. All you have to do is show up and the ingredients will be waiting for you!

Performances
Rosie’s Place is seeking established individual or group performers to offer short, family-friendly shows in our Dining Room. These performances offer our guests a brief escape from everyday challenges, allowing them to take solace in the company of friends. Past performers have included acapella groups, singers, casts from plays & musicals, musicians, dance troops and more. Performances take place in the Dining Room weekday evenings from 5-5:45pm with an audience of up to 150 guests. We welcome groups of up to 15 and require all attendees to be over the age of 12.
