Our partners at the Rochester Female Charitable society have just celebrated their 200 year anniversary of serving the Rochester community.
On February 26th 1822, 60 women came together to create the Rochester Female Charitable society. This society helped to found the first schools, public projects and social services in the community. This was the beginning of women’s civic activism in Rochester, at a time when the city was only a settlement of around 2,700 people.
We are proud to be one of the many organizations that the Rochester Female Charitable society supports in the Rochester Community. This organization has been dedicated to supporting women and the Rochester community as a whole, helping to further futures. Thank you so much for your continued support as we try to build a better Rochester together.
