Join us in supporting our 2008 AHCAP Community Initiative:

The Women’s Lunch Place

AHCAP leadership has chosen The Women’s Lunch Place (WLP) as AHCAP’s 2008 community assistance initiative in Boston. WLP is a daytime shelter where homeless/in need women and their children find support, friendship, a nutritious home-cooked meal and a safe haven from the streets. It provides a safe harbor to women who have suffered unbearable losses of family, friends and home where they can regain a sense of dignity and self-esteem.

Daily necessities are freely provided at the WLP. Items in need include travel sized toiletries (especially toothpaste & deodorant), office supplies (notebooks, pens, white envelopes, legal pads), monetary donations and gift cards from Stop-n-Shop, Shaw’s Supermarket, Target, CVS or Marshalls. It is our sincerest hope that, as in the past, our AHCAP family continues to support this very important initiative.

If you would like to make a monetary donation to the WLP, please make the check out to “The Women’s Lunch Place” and mail it to AHCAP National Offices before June 9th.

AHCAP
One North Franklin, Suite 2800

If you’d prefer to bring your donation with you, you can drop it off at the AHCAP registration desk. Please bring all other donations with you onsite or ship them to the Fairmont to arrive between June 12 -16. (Click here to download this information and shipping details.)
AHCAP will present all of the donations to a representative from WLP on Friday, June 20 during the Member Appreciation Dinner.
