| Mother's Day Cards! |
Since 1982 the Women’s Lunch Place has created a safe haven for some of the most underserved women in Boston. What you may not know is that every Mother’s Day the WLP honors our guests with a magical celebration of food, live entertainment, gifts, and flowers. For many of our guests, Mother's Day can be a difficult time. Many of the women that utilize our services have families who are no longer a part of their lives. Some have lost the care of their children, some have no family contact, and others, as single mothers, struggle to raise children in shelters or one-room apartments. This is why the dedicated community of the WLP gathers in celebration every Mother’s Day to joyfully celebrate the bond we share as mothers, sisters and friends. We invite you to be part of this celebration by purchasing your Mother’s Day card for someone special in your life. Your contribution will help to continue the support of our mission. This year’s card highlights original artwork from one of our many talented guests.
