The Women's Lunch Place has been serving hot meals to Boston's poor and homeless women for more than 25 years. Located in the basement of the Church of the Covenant, this non-profit organization is a daytime shelter focused specifically on providing a safe environment for women to eat, take naps, shower, wash clothes, make phone calls, search for jobs, and seek both legal and medical assistance. The organization is comprised of a small, full-time staff and a large group of volunteers, including medical doctors and psychiatrists. Group activities such as art projects, exercise, and trips to beach are also an important part of the program. The Women's Lunch Place is privately funded and collaborates with a number of other agencies, including DMH, often receiving support from local businesses and restaurants. Once a month, it celebrates birthdays with a special donation of gifts from Tiffany's.
