THURSDAY, NOVEMber 13, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) and the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay (NABB) held the Harvest Festival & Auction at 67 Newbury Street on Thursday, November 13, 2025 from 6:00 PM-8:30 PM. Attendees mingled with your neighbors during this fun event while supporting two worthwhile causes! All enjoyed a delicious harvest of culinary selections, wine, and craft beers.

Everyone got some early holiday shopping done during our Silent Auction, which featured sports tickets, restaurant gift cards, and more. We also had an art gallery full of beautiful creations from WLP guests available for purchase.



This event brings together two organizations that are committed to helping the most vulnerable among us in Boston.

  • Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) is a shelter and advocacy center for women experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty. WLP helps more than 2,300 women annually through programs that provide nutrition, housing, healthcare, legal services and other vital services to their guests.

  • The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay (NABB), founded in 1955, is a community-driven organization working to cultivate a healthy and vibrant neighborhood for the residents of Boston’s Back Bay. The Homelessness Task Force (HTF), one of its committees, was established in 2019 to increase understanding of homelessness in Boston and promote effective interventions through public education and advocacy.

*WLP and NABB are 501(c)3 organizations. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
