Rosie’s Place Coat Drive Rosie’s Place needs coats and jackets for those who will be shivering and cold. Winter coats needed – We welcome women’s or men’s coats. Please ensure that the coats are clean and in good condition. Many of our guests need larger sizes, so men’s coats are perfect. Plus we have many women who simply prefer the style of a man’s coat. We will gladly accept lighter jackets as well. Please put coats in plastic bin located under the bulletin board in the front hall. If you have any questions, please contact Jane Sabin at janesabin@comcast.net, or 781-444-5246.
