MISSION
The Women’s Lunch Place was created to provide a safe, comfortable place during the day where homeless and poor women and their children can find a well-balanced meal and acceptance, respect, and friendship.

DESCRIPTION
For more then 20 years, the Women’s Lunch Place has been a daytime community in Boston for poor and homeless women and their children. They are open everyday of the year to offer food, friendship, and a full spectrum of advocacy and support services to each of their guests. In addition to providing well-balanced meals, the Women's Lunch Place provides clean bathrooms and showers, areas to rest and laundry facilities.

Issues the attorneys deal with include divorce, child custody, personal injury, immigration problems, wills, evictions, and bankruptcy. Pro bono medical services are available to guests 15 days a month.
