At Women’s Lunch Place, Dignity is Everything. We work with more than 2,300 women annually, meeting each guest where she is and helping her move toward stability and self-sufficiency.

The Homelessness Task Force, one of its committees, was established in 2019 to increase understanding of homelessness in Boston and promote effective interventions through public education and advocacy.
