Did you know that the largest collection of Tiffany-made church windows is right here in Boston?
Breakfast With Tiffany's is a brunch-time celebration with live music and a silent auction. Although the hosting church (the Church of the Covenant) is committed to a wide-ranging social justice mission - including the housing of the Women’s Lunch Place in its lower level - funds raised at this unique event will go to the Covenant Boston Preservation Project, a 501(c)(3) organization committed solely to maintaining these priceless Boston treasures. You will not believe your eyes when you see the sun streaming through the 42 Tiffany windows here - it's one of the largest intact Tiffany interiors in the WORLD!
Volunteer tasks include turning the church sanctuary into a one-of-a-kind brunch venue, managing food and drink donations, greeting guests, and helping with the silent auction.
I am a former volunteer manager so I am committed to making your your volunteer experience with me is positive, meaningful, and fun!
Volunteer shifts: 8:30 - 11:00 AM; 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (or both!)
This opportunity is best accessed by MBTA (Arlington or Back Bay stations), though validated parking for $8 is also available.

Mission Statement
The Covenant Boston Preservation Project is a 501(c)(3) organization committed solely to restoring and maintaining the historic Tiffany-designed interior of the Church of the Covenant, including its 42 Tiffany windows.
Description
Although the Church of the Covenant is committed to a wide-ranging social justice mission - including the housing of the Women’s Lunch Place in our lower level - the Covenant Boston Preservation Project is a 501(c)(3) organization committed solely to restoring and maintaining the historic Tiffany-designed interior of the church, including its 42 Tiffany windows. Thanks to the support of previous donors, this priceless little-known Boston treasure is open to the public 6 days a week during warm weather.
During the 1890s, the Neo-Gothic sanctuary of dark walnut wood and pseudo-medieval stained glass was completely redecorated by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company under the supervision of J.A. Holzer of the Tiffany Company and the minister, Dr. Edward L. Clark.
The sanctuary was transformed by a gigantic electrified lantern, baptismal font, 42 stained glass windows, mosaics, decorative arches and a paint scheme that united all the elements. Tiffany's artistic vision is here--in the "aesthetic" colors of red, green and blue that tie the scheme together, the Islamic motifs and the preoccupation with light and nature.
