Celebrating 35 Years of Women’s Lunch Place
The Spaghetti Dinner is Women’s Lunch Place’s annual fall fundraising event. This year will be a celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the shelter. We will honor Anne and David Bromer for their vision and support for the Creative Expressions Program providing guests with the opportunity to explore their talents and interests.
Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston provides a wonderful setting for this lively, family style dinner. Table hosts don chef’s jackets & hats and serve spaghetti, meatballs, and a variety of delicious toppings. An irresistible silent auction and raffle add to the evening’s entertainment. After the dinner program, a dessert reception and dancing is hosted by the WLP Young Professionals.
About Women’s Lunch Place
Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) opened its doors in November of 1982 to serve women a hot lunch in a safe welcoming place. We have grown from serving lunch three times a week into a vibrant and supportive day community that is open six days a week. We serve healthy breakfasts and lunches, and we also provide basic necessities and services that help restore dignity and hope.
Medical care is provided free by Healthcare Without Walls, and advocates and support staff assist women in crisis, struggling with domestic violence, addiction, mental illness, or the stress of being homeless. Women interested in pursuing employment, housing, and other opportunities use our resource center and library, which provides access to computers and phones, free Wi-Fi, the Internet, and office supplies. The Creative Expression Program offers classes in painting and drawing, photography, sewing and knitting, and writing. Additional classes are offered in yoga, meditation, and wellness to provide women the chance to heal and respite from the stressors of poverty and loneliness.
