Mission Statement
Women’s Lunch Place inspires hope and supports the development of self-sustaining skills for women experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We create a safe, welcoming day shelter community in which we respect the dignity of our guests. We build trusting relationships to provide individualized, integrated services focused on nutrition, health, housing, and economic empowerment.
About This Cause
Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) is a low-threshold shelter and advocacy center for anyone who identifies as a woman regardless of her race, immigration status, religious affiliation, criminal background, or sobriety. Because we have no intake requirements for entry, vulnerable women who feel threatened disclosing personal information feel safe to access our nutritious meals and essential supplies and services. Our gender-specific environment allows women to take respite from threats of violence and abuse, and our programming is specifically designed to address women’s health issues and trauma histories. WLP’s proactive expertise and collaborative efforts enable us to effectively relieve food insecurity, prevent homelessness, increase economic independence, and secure greater access to health care for vulnerable women in Greater Boston. Our talented team of staff, volunteers, and partners assist our guests with patience, compassion, and dignity. We recognize that the women we serve are experiencing disproportionate trauma, and we tailor individual stabilization plans accordingly to allow each guest to orchestrate her own journey to health and well-being with the help of her care manager and community. As our guests begin to contemplate a better life, they can benefit from our comprehensive suite of programs and supports to become more stable and self-sufficient.
