Since 1981, the West Roxbury Friends of Rosie’s Place (WRFORP) have prepared and served meals and supported the food pantry at Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women in Boston’s South End. Rosie’s Place does not accept government funding. It depends on the kindness of people like you.

WRFORP also serves Boston families in need through its support of the Roslindale Food Pantry, and by making it possible for homeless and economically disadvantaged children to attend summer camp.

Your generous donations and participation in our annual events are critical to this mission. WRFORP is an all-volunteer organization. Nearly 100% of your donations go directly to support women and families in need.

We are working to raise $10,000 this December to assist Rosie’s Place and Roslindale Food Pantry, and to sponsor local children’s participation in activities that support their wellbeing. We can’t do this without your generosity.

If you didn’t get a chance to donate during 2025 or would like to do more to support your neighbors in need, please consider making a gift today.  Many thanks for all your support.
