2023 Luncheon

Join Us in a Celebration of Growth

Join us for our special 7th Annual Rooted in Love Luncheon at noon on Wednesday, October 25. We are so excited to be able to be in person again this year at Judson Mill Annex and also offer a virtual group option. All guests will enjoy a delicious meal from Jasmine Kitchen, our social enterprise lunch cafe.

This luncheon is our only major fundraising event and provides critical resources for Jasmine Road’s operations to continue to grow and serve more women. Your support is especially crucial as we mark our first year of expanded capacity and continue to grow into our second home—working to provide comprehensive medical and mental health care services, educational and career opportunities, and a network of mentors for all of our residents. Additionally, we will be opening two apartments in January 2024, allowing graduates of our residential program a little more time to make a supported transition.

Your dedication to furthering our mission and believing in the transformative power of love to heal and employ women in our community is incredibly appreciated. We hope you will join us in investing in the women of Jasmine Road and their futures by providing opportunities to flourish, one life at a time.

Featuring inspiring stories of healing and growth from our own Jasmine Road graduates and these special guests.
