What Boston Cares members have to say about Serving Meals at the Women's Lunch Place: "Helping out at the Women's Lunch Place was a great first volunteer experience with Boston Cares. I felt like I really contributed. The people there took the time to show me where everything was and were open to questions." ~Lauren Medeiros

“It was great! All of the volunteer were extremely nice, and the women we were serving food to were friendly too. I think it’s the best project I’ve done so far! I liked it so much that I’m going again next week!” ~Cathie Ventalon
