WLP is still open and serving women every day. We are continuing to maintain all three of our core service areas – healthy meals, direct care and advocacy – despite the challenges brought on by COVID-19. Although this pandemic has forced us to temporarily shift to take-out meals, we are still serving over 200 meals each day! We have continued to assist guests with their basic needs - toiletries, underwear, and other emergency items - and our advocates are checking in with elderly and shut-in guests and are delivering pantry baskets of food and supplies to their door. 
 
We miss our volunteers greatly and wanted to let you know a few ways you could be a "virtual volunteer" for WLP!


MOTHER'S DAY CARD CAMPAIGN

  • Be a Card Captain and encourage friends and family to support WLP with a  Mother's Day Card. Share our message through social media, email, and on community/work e-forums

  • Great virtual gifts! Send cards to loved ones and friends. Each year a guest participating in the Creative Expressions program designs the card image. The donation for each card sponsors one week of meals for a guest. The cards are a meaningful way to honor or remember a special person in your life – all while supporting Boston’s most vulnerable women


AMAZON SMILE

  • If you haven't already, please add us as your preferred Amazon Smile Charity and shop through Amazon Smile (all purchases count!)

  • Bookmark Amazon Smile so you remember to shop through that link instead of the regular Amazon website. We only get proceeds when you use the link

  • Please call (617) 383-7271 or email Chloe if you would like help setting it up!


FUNDRAISE

  • Our greatest, most urgent need is funds - we have lost critical revenue due to postponed and cancelled spring events

  • Host a Facebook Fundraiser or send an email to your friends and family

  • Tell your community about WLP, explain why you support our mission, and ask them to join you in helping us get through these challenging times

  • Donations can be made online, over the phone (617) 449-7200, or by mail to P.O. Box 170900, Boston, MA 02117.


IN-KIND NEEDS

  • We are keeping our Amazon Urgent Needs List updated - please contact Chloe if you have any questions about donations (remote office: 617-383-7271)

  • Ship to 67 Newbury Street or contactless drop-off from 8:00am-1:00pm, Monday-Saturday

  • We are providing masks to our staff and guests to help protect our community. If you are sewing masks, please consider making extra for WLP!
