Other Activities at Dorothy Day
In addition to the late afternoon meal and shelter, volunteers lead other
activities at Dorothy Day House.
Weekend Breakfast Program
Most Saturdays and Sundays during the year, volunteers from Christian Community
Outreach Ministries cook and serve a hot breakfast from 7 to 9am in the
kitchen. For more information, contact Rev Payton at 203-744-7976
Shelter from the cold
During the winter months (generally from November 15 through April 15),
volunteers open the kitchen most nights between 6 and 9pm so guests can
spend a few hours in a warm place before the shelter opens at 9pm. There
are different groups that staff the Shelter from the Cold Program for each
night of the week. If you are interested in volunteering and can get a
group together to cover one night (at least two volunteers should be present
each night), contact Paul Hines at 837-8444 or hinesp@wcsu.edu
Santa's Workshop
On a Saturday during the month of December, toys are collected and distributed
to children in the Spring Street neighborhood. For many children, this
is the highlight of their Christmas season. Donations of unwrapped toys
are needed for this event. Middle and high school students can also help
out with the toy distribution. For more information contact Mike Oles at
798-1884 or moles5@comcast.net
