LGBT Community Meal Programs in Massachusetts
We are pleased to have a whole section dedicated to the different LGBT Community Meal Programs that are starting to emerge across the state. We now have a nice variety of offerings from weekly luncheons, monthly brunches, a monthly women’s program and two monthly supper programs.
