Who We Are

December 18, 2024 - Winter’s chill lays bare the vulnerability of the women we serve with a cold that can sink into one’s body, mind and spirit. More women are counting on us for their most basic and critical needs. Can we count on you?

December 3, 2024 - When a woman comes to us, alone and afraid, she has exhausted every option she has before she walks through our doors. She often expects that we will be another no in a long string of nos she’s used to hearing. But when she comes to Rosie’s Place, she hears yes.

December 3, 2024 - A dynamic and driven woman, Kaceann moved from Jamaica to New York City in search of a better life. For a while that’s exactly what she found, until her plans were derailed when the man she fell in love with abused her. She had to get out. With little more than the clothes on her back, she escaped to Boston.

December 27, 2023 - At Rosie’s Place, we know that when we give a woman the sanctuary, support and opportunity she needs—she can secure the precious stability she deserves.

December 22, 2023 - As the days get colder and darker, we’ll need sweaters, coats and hats. We’ll be inside more, needing our heat up higher and our lights on longer, making those bills cost much more every month.
