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.
Do not forget the RAFFLE!! Anyone who makes a purchase at Pod during this weekend event is eligible. We're so very grateful for the generous donations from: Cutty's, Bon, Covet & Lou, Hi-Rise Bread Co., Bagelsaurus, Field & Vine, June Bug, Stitch and Tickle, Sofra, Family Dinner, Gather Here, Cambridge Naturals, Breadboard Bakery, We Thieves, Pod, Katherine Small Gallery, London Borough of Jam, and Joanne Rossman, It's likely this list will grow.
At checkout, you'll be asked if you'd like to enter the raffle. It does NOT cost extra! We'll need your name, phone number and email--this is simply to be able to contact you if you win. We are not adding you to ANY lists or sharing your info. We promise.
It's a fun time. We help you out, you help us out, we all help Rosie's Place out. There's a lotta love around this event and we hope you will find a moment to participate. XO
