Women's Lunch Place

Women’s Lunch Place inspires hope and supports the development of self-sustaining skills for women experiencing hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We create a safe, welcoming day shelter community in which we respect the dignity of our guests. We build trusting relationships to provide individualized, integrated services focused on nutrition, health, housing, and economic empowerment.

Women’s Lunch Place addresses hunger, homelessness, and poverty through innovative and integrated services that promote hope, healing, and opportunity. 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 through...
