I have been doing some pro bono consulting work with this group and I am wholly impressed by them…read more Their programs take a holistic approach to helping kids and young adults achieve their potential through one on one support. The wide range of services provide much needed assistance for many different situations, acting as a true community resource for under-served communities.

My grandmother needed her medications and couldn't get an appointment for a month so we scheduled…read moreher an appointment here so she wouldn't have to wait. Wait time in the lobby was about 2 minutes and wait time in the exam room was about 10-12 mins. Dr. Ihouma A and the translator Peter were very kind and patient. She was able to fill all my grandmother's prescriptions and had her blood taken because it had been over a year. We went to pick up the RX on the first floor and had to wait an additional 10 mins. This building was very clean and all the staff was friendly.

Because of the immeasurable kindness and humble intelligence of Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Chang, Dr…read more Gattereau, and Dr. Rosas. I will always recommend all friends and family to come here. My favorite mentors are at BNHC Dental, and they often treat patients with so much attention, as if they are the only appointments the doctors have that day. Dr. Gabriel recommends the best treatment plans with the patients' interests as the priority and Dr. Gattereau performs root canals flawlessly. Dr. Chang is always smiling, and all docs leave patients feeling so welcomed and cared for. I wish I could give this dental clinic 6/5 stars as opposed to 5!

Nothing kills a good thrift trip then mean/miserable staff. I left with a mountain of clothing. I will be back- I found a ton of quality clothing for my patients and of course for myself.

There are just so many good things to say about this place that I'm not sure where to start…read more First, it is not a "shelter" in the typical sense of the word, and the staff and guests do not refer to it as a "shelter". They consider themselves a "community", and act as such. There are NO lines for anything at the WLP. The women are served their meals at their tables by volunteers, and their materials are bussed for them once they are done, unless they choose to self-bus. The food. Oh heavens! WLP prides itself on serving nourishing, FRESH food. Each meal will have all nutritional requirements met, and there is always a veggie option. We're not talking canned goods or sandwiches here, folks. No, this is chopped and diced fresh veggies, prime cut meats, the finest ingredients. If you're a good cook and after you've volunteered a few times, they are happy to let you get in the kitchen and help whip up stuff. The resident chef there, Gina, is wonderfully creative in the kitchen (and very nice), and from time to time, other professional chefs from local restaurants come in to put together a meal. The WLP isn't jsut a food place, although that's the highlight of the day. It also provides the women with full time advocacy support to help with finding housing, food, or other services. There is a computer room/resource room that the ladies may use. There is also a nap room where women can go to get sometimes some much needed rest, and also a quiet room for just some peace, solitude, and maybe reading or reflecting. Women are also able to get various toiletries and clothing that they may need. They may do their laundry and take showers. The Program Manager, Heather (also very, very nice and competent) has done a great job of making sure that there are interesting activities for guests if they choose to participate: yoga, painting, field trips, knitting, etc. Since the WLP is run as a "community", the staff are INCREDIBLY patient with the women, and if a guest is being disorderly or breaking a rule, she is not immediately tossed out, but is counseled and given more than one opportunity to redeem herself by correcting her behavior. Throwing someone out is a last option at the WLP. WLP treats its volunteers as the valuable commodity we are. We are appreciated, thanked, and made to feel a part of the "team". Added Perk: They also have really incredible volunteer thank you events! I enjoy volunteering here. I learn something new and meet new people each time I go. I don't have a lot of spare time to volunteer, but when I do, the WLP gets me all the time, every time. It's important to know that this place could not be so great without us- the community at large supporting it through donations, volunteering, contributions, etc. The staff, Regina, Linda, Joanna, Lauren, Linnie, and Cheryl are terrific- go meet them! This is just a wonderful, wonderful place. You will not leave here without your heart being touched in some way.

Just to add to the great review by Adrienne -- The Women's…read moreLunch Place is an amazing community run by dedicated and caring people. I've volunteered there many times, and the experience was wonderful. The staff is as open, kind and welcoming to volunteers as they are to their ladies. The ladies? Wow. Having the opportunity to really get to know some of the women in this community is a real blessing. The WLP is one of my favorite volunteer opportunities. Try it out!
