FAQ’s
What is the best time to drop off donations?
The best time is early afternoon – from 1:00 to 2:30pm when the kitchen
crew is preparing the afternoon meal. Late afternoon between 4pm and 5pm is also good. If you want to drop off things at other times, please call ahead
Where can I park?
There is parking along Spring Street on the same side of the
street as the kitchen. There are also a
few spaces behind the kitchen in front of the shelter, although it is rather
tight back there.
I have to do community service. Can I do it at Dorothy Day?
For men, the best option is at the shelter. See Shelter volunteers for more information.
I have some leftover food from a party. Can you use it at Dorothy Day House?
Yes, we can put it to good use
Do you take clothing or furniture donations?
Dorothy Day House has very limited storage space, so we are
unable to collect and distribute most clothing or furniture. However, we will accept new socks and underwear, and hats, warm gloves,
unisex ski jackets and scarves during the winter months.
Who can stay at the shelter?
Men and women 18 and older are welcome at the shelter – no
identification is required. Children
under 18 are not permitted. During the
summer months, guests may stay no more than 30 days (counted from January 1st
of the year). The shelter admits guests
from 9 to 9:30pm each night.
