Please see our Wish List for a list of supplies that we need. Unfortunately we are not able to pick up donations.  The best time to bring donations to Dorothy Day House is between 1:30pm and 2:30pm any day of the week 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.

Cookies and non-temperature sensitive food donations are always welcome.   If you have full trays of food prepared by a licensed food service establishment (ex restaurant or caterer) which has been kept under proper temperature control, then we will be glad to accept to accept it.  We cannot accept donations of meat which has not come from a commercial supplier (ex no venison from hunters).
