Donations
Dorothy Day Hospitality House does not solicit funds from local, state
or national government agencies. About half the 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:
Dorothy Day Hospitality
House
PO Box 922
Danbury CT 06813
Online donations are also
accepted by clicking on the "Donate" button below.
Dorothy Day Hospitality House is a tax
exempt organization under IRS Section 501c3 so your contribution is tax
deductible under the law.
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 1pm and 2:30pm 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.
Dorothy Day House has limited storage facillities, so we are unable to
accept clothes donations (except for adult ski jackets, warm gloves,
hats, scarves and socks), household goods or furniture.
