Dorothy Day House

Dorothy Day House is a Catholic Worker community in Berkeley, California, USA. Seven days a week, we serve breakfast in People's Park, near the University of California at Berkeley, to the poor and homeless members of our community. We began our service in 1984, cooking in the kitchen of St. Mary Magdalen Church and serving in People's Park, then in People's Cafe, and once again outdoors in the Park.

We now work from the Veterans Building kitchen, in a shelter run by the City of Berkeley. Although all work continues to be done by volunteers, our financial need has grown since we now serve two breakfasts: one at the shelter, the other in the Park. It is our desire to open a House of Hospitality as a concrete expression of our commitment to the poor and homeless among us.
