Dear Rosewood Community and Partners,
The team here at The Rosewood Initiative is taking COVID-19 and our responsibility to the community very seriously. After much deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to close the center and cancel gatherings until further notice.
Supporting the Rosewood Community during COVID-19
Our Rosewood families and businesses need us now more than ever. When this health pandemic started, we knew the Rosewood community was going to be hit the hardest and wanted to ensure we had ways to support the community. We've organized two different fundraisers that can help individuals and businesses in Rosewood!
For any questions or concerns, contact Jossie at
All proceeds for the Guerreras Latinas COVID-19 Relief Fund will go directly to participants in the Guerreras Latinas program. The funds will help with partial rent payments, utility assistance, toiletries, and other essential items.
Our emergency fund (Send a Meal, Support a Rosewood Business) helps feed residents at two Human Solutions emergency shelters and supports two Rosewood businesses to survive the economic impacts of COVID-19.
