Donations
Dorothy Day Hospitality House does not solicit funds
from local, state

necessary food and
supplies are donated; the remainder and other expenses
(rent,
utilities, etc) must be covered by cash donations from
individuals,
churches, corporations and other community
organizations.
If you would like to help with a cash donation,
please send a check payable
to Dorothy Day Hospitality House at the following
address:

House
PO Box 922
Danbury CT 06813
