Event Details

As winter approaches, the challenges of homelessness become even more urgent. For women, transgender, and non-binary individuals across Greater Boston, the search for warmth, safety, and stability can become increasingly difficult during the coldest months of the year.


For 31 years, On The Rise’s Safe Haven has offered not just shelter, but connection and hope. Through our Safe Haven and Keep the Keys programs, we offer both immediate resources and long-term, relationship-based support that helps individuals build pathways toward stability, connection, and belonging.


Join us at the Prepare for Winter Dinner decades of transformative relationships and the community that makes this work possible. Together, supporters, partners, and community members will gather for an evening of reflection, connection, and shared purpose.


Your generosity will help provide life-saving resources, safe spaces, and deep human connection throughout the harsh winter months and beyond. 


Together, we can open the door to safety, belonging, and hope, not just for a night, but for the whole season ahead.
