roofTOP Chefs is a series created by The Colonnade Hotel’s Executive Chef Nick Calias, who has invited his chef comrades to collaborate on a poolside tasting pop-up every Tuesday through September 13 with 100% of proceeds benefitting Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry.

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.
