Put them on the window sill in the sunshine. They might ripen then.

Assuming there was no frost damage (it is July), put them in a paper bag for a few days with a couple of bananas.
My mom lets her tomatoes ripen in a sunny window sill for a few days, but I guess it may depend on how green they are. I would try it anyways, hope it works!
You place them in a warm place away from direct light. Sunny windows are warm that’s why placing a tomato on the windowsill will ripen it. But sun light is also destructive and can rapidly make any bouquet of flowers or fruits wither and rot.
Its better to place them in a warm place with space in between each other on news paper. That way if some rot they wont ruin others by contaminating them.
They can’t beat vine riped but if you have an oppose gardening or it is supposed to have a killing frost this is the best way to ripen green tomatoes.
Happy eating.
