Volunteer
A great deal of the Women's Lunch Place's success can be attributed to its incredible community of volunteers. Each year, more than 400 individuals work tirelessly to implement and fulfill our mission. WLP welcomes volunteers from all races, ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Some volunteers have been involved with WLP for more than two decades, and others, less than a year. WLP works with individual volunteers and with members of various organizations, corporations, faith-based groups, and educational institutions.

Who Can Volunteer at the Women's Lunch Place?
WLP is always in need of energetic, enthusiastic volunteers. Both men and women, age 14 and over, are welcome to volunteer. However, given the amount of time we invest in training new volunteers, individuals must be able to commit to the following:
- A minimum 3 months of service (may vary based on the desired position)
- Willingness to volunteer at least 8 hours a month
- Consistent attendance
- Individuals ages 14-16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when they volunteer.
Individuals under age 18 must have a signed parental consent form before they can volunteer. Please speak to a member of the volunteer team if you have any questions.
Please note: Due to space and safety constraints, we are unable to accommodate more than 6 volunteers in our kitchen at any given time.
