Women's Lunch Place is a welcoming and supportive daytime refuge for women experiencing homelessness or poverty. It provides nutritious meals, a safe environment, and essential services such as laundry and showers. The staff and volunteers are described as helpful, joyful, and caring, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere where women can find friendship and support. Many visitors appreciate the genuine love and kindness they feel during their time there, highlighting the dedication of the staff. The place is praised as a great community center and day shelter, with a lively and positive environment created by both staff and guests. However, some concerns are raised about the organization’s priorities. A few feel that the service could be more efficient for women with jobs, as the current system makes it difficult for those in a hurry to receive food quickly. Additionally, there are comments about new staff members and the shelter’s focus, with some feeling it may not always support growth and productivity for all women. Despite these issues, Women's Lunch Place remains a crucial resource, offering food, support, and a sense of community to women in need.
Aside from going there a few days ago!!! I’m still satisfied when I leave there. I always feel the love, even when they let new people that shouldn’t be there work there… that don’t take away from all the years I’ve been going there. So keep the real STAFF safe and HAPPY!
