Stella Remembered
The Boston Globe, NECN, and the Boston Herald reported on Stella's death as though she had been a local dignitary. In many ways she was. Since Stella's passing our email boxes have been flooded with memories of Stella and words of thanks for the work we do with homeless and poor women. Many have sent donations.

This fund will support the meals and daily living programs that Stella participated in for 25 years. If you would like to make a donation to the fund, please click here.
