Patriots Women’s Association lends a hand at Women’s Lunch Place
The Patriots Women’s Association gave back to the community on Monday, when several Patriots wives and significant others volunteered at the Women’s Lunch Place, which provides meals, necessities, and resources to women experiencing homelessness.
According to Daniel MacPherson, manager of community relations for Kraft Sports and Entertainment, several members of the women’s group volunteered to prepare and serve meals, including Bill Belichick’s significant other, Linda Holliday, and Belichick’s daughter-in-law Jennifer Belichick, who is married to safeties coach Steve Belichick.
Also participating were the wives of several players, including Mackenzie Andrews, wife of Patriots center David Andrews; Hallie Gostkowski, wife of placekicker Stephen Gostkowski; and Shahrzad Ehdaivand Slater, wife of special teamer and wide receiver Matthew Slater. Multiple Patriots cheerleaders and team owner Robert Kraft also pitched in to help serve meals, MacPherson said.
The Patriots Women’s Association also donated personal care items, such as soap and shampoo, and presented a $35,000 donation to the Women’s Lunch Place in support of the shelter’s 35th annual spaghetti dinner fund-raiser. The Women’s Lunch Place also turns 35 this year.
