THANK YOU to the incredible number of generous folks who chose to support our guests this Mother's Day!
Because of you, more women will have access to nutritious meals (pictured here from our Mother's Day celebration), housing support, and a pathway forward.
For one longtime donor, Mary Jacobs, this same act of kindness sparked a decades-long connection:
"About 25 years ago, my friend showed me a beautiful Mother's Day card she received, painted by a guest from Women's Lunch Place.
Even better—she invited me to join her one day to volunteer at the shelter.
My visit was transformative. I became a Wednesday volunteer and worked in the kitchen until I moved to California in 2009. During that time, I had the pleasure of serving on the Board of Directors and was inspired to teach local children in the Boston area about food insecurity.
From that first Mother's Day until now, I've made it a priority to help women live with dignity and opportunity by supporting Women's Lunch Place."
-- Mary Jacobs, WLP Supporter
To all who contributed to the campaign in 2026, this is the legacy of care that continues because of you. Thank you!
