Today, we celebrate what would have been our founder, Kip Tiernan’s 100th birthday. We’ll serve her favorite dishes, play the jazz music she loved, and the community that she started—rooted in radical compassion and relentless hope—will remember her with joy.

Because, as Kip knew so well, community is powerful and joy is more than contagious. It’s nourishing.

With the need for our help at an all-time high, every day at Rosie’s Place, we work to give our very best—to the women who need us most.

Will you support our community and make a gift of $100 in Kip’s honor today?
