The mission of the Women's Lunch Place (WLP) is to provide a safe, comfortable daytime shelter, nutritious food and services for women who are homless or poor. We treat women with dignity and respect and foster a community commmitted to meeting each woman's needs.  

Core Values

  1. We believe no individual should have to be hungry or homeless.
  2. We believe all human beings should be treated with dignity and respect.
  3. We meet each woman where she is, and we base and adjust our services according to her needs.
  4. We offer our services in a gracious, comfortable and safe environment, offering both physical and emotional sustenance.
  5. We create a community of understanding and acceptance among guests, staff, volunteers and board members.
