Why We Exist
The ROSE TLC was born from a simple, profound calling:
to fulfill James 1:27 by caring for widows and orphans in their distress.
What began as an outreach of God’s love to orphans, widows, and churches in India— through over 20 years of faithful ministry supporting 37 churches— has grown to serve these same groups locally.
Today, our work continues in the spirit of that same calling,
offering practical love and support right here in our community.
We now serve through three interconnected ministries:
• Practical assistance for daily needs
• A nonprofit thrift store that provides affordable goods while helping fund our programs
• Community building that ensures no one walks alone
"Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
James 1:27
"For I was naked and you clothed me..."
