Helping at the Holidays

Shopping. Fundraising. Join us December 7th & 8th! 

Many of you know the drill, but if you're new to Pod, WELCOME! This is something you don't want to miss. Our annual holiday event is especially important because we donate a portion of our weekend sales to Rosie's Place, a local organization whose mission is close to our hearts.

Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the first women's shelter in the United States. Located in Boston, their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity, and find security in their lives.
Today, in it's 50th year, Rosie's Place is a multi-service community center that offers women emergency shelter and meals, and so much more: a food pantry, ESOL classes, legal assistance, wellness care, one-on-one support, housing and job search services, and community outreach. Here women will find support, opportunity and the tools they need to make a new start. 
Rosie's Place relies SOLELY on the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations and DOES NOT accept any city, state, or federal funding. 

So what's going on besides making a dent in your gift lists?
You can count on fragrant paperwhites, potted up and just waiting to be gifted. Erin Heath of Forêt will be crafting her amazing wreaths to add warmth to your home. Offered in 16" and 22" sizes, you'll need to pre-order those. Whimsy Floral Studio will be providing us with lovely wraps with mixed seasonal greens--perfect for your weekend eventing. If anything, it's sure going to smell wonderful.
