Small contributions enact big change. 10% of all profits will be donated to “Women’s Lunch Place,” located in Boston’s Back Bay.
A key ingredient to personal contentment and overall satisfaction is the ability to connect with others and contribute to the greater community. It is crucial that we find ways to incorporate and foster giving back in our day to day. It is often the smallest acts that are frequent and meaningful that make a true impact.
Mission Statement
Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) opened its doors in November of 1982 to serve women a hot lunch in a safe welcoming place. We have grown from serving lunch three times a week into a vibrant and supportive day community that is open six days a week. We serve healthy breakfasts and lunches, and we also provide basic necessities and services that help restore dignity and hope.
Medical care is provided free by Healthcare Without Walls, and advocates and support staff assist women in crisis, struggling with domestic violence, addiction, mental illness, or the stress of being homeless. Women interested in pursuing employment, housing, and other opportunities use our resource center and library, which provides access to computers and phones, free Wi-Fi, the Internet, and office supplies. The Creative Expression Program offers classes in painting and drawing, photography, sewing and knitting, and writing. Additional classes are offered in yoga, meditation, and wellness to provide women the chance to heal and respite from the stressors of poverty and loneliness.
