The Women's Lunch Place (WLP) is a women’s shelter that offers programs that develop self-sustaining skills for women experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty.

Event Details
  • MDS Cares volunteers will assist kitchen staff with food preparation, serving meals, and clean-up for the Women's Lunch Place lunch program. Volunteers are required to sign this waiver prior to their visit.


    Watch the quick Volunteer Training Video to learn more about what to expect. Please note that as a group volunteer, you do not need to sign up on the iPad upon arrival.


    Kitchen dress code: The kitchen tends to be warmer, but all volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and a shirt with sleeves (short sleeves are fine). Volunteers must also have their hair pulled back and wear a hat or hairnet.


    Parking/MBTA: WLP does not have designated parking for volunteers so the options are street parking or nearby garages. They are very close to the Arlington stop on the MBTA green line and also the Back Back stop on the orange line.

Cancellation Policy
  • Call the MDS Member Assistance Center at 800.342.8747, option 5.
