We can always use donations of canned goods and spaghetti sauce If
you are considering donating a turkey, if you can do so, please donate
a ham instead. It's much easier to prepare and serve.
Dorothy Day House has limited storage facillities, so we are unable to
accept clothes donations except for adult ski jackets, warm gloves, and
winter hats.
The best time to bring donations to Dorothy Day House is between 1pm and
3pm when the cooking crew is preparing the daily meal. It's a good idea
to call (203-743-7988) to make sure someone is at the kitchen before dropping
off donations. For directions to Dorothy Day House, click here. We welcome groups to conduct food drives for items found on
our Wish List. However, all food
collected is used in meals prepared at the kitchen. We do not distribute food baskets to our
guests. Therefore, there is no large
requirement for food around Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Plenty of donations come in at this time, so
if you are planning a food drive, if it is possible, please consider running it
during the first 10 months of the year.
