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 started as a small group delivering meals to elderly widows in our community has blossomed into a movement of practical love and support.

Today, we serve through three interconnected ministries: practical assistance for daily needs, our thrift store that provides affordable goods while funding our programs, and 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."
