In-kind Donations
Our three transitional houses are home to 9 families at a time. During their stay at the Dorothy Day House, and even after moving out, families have access to free hygiene items, cleaning supplies, bedding, clothing, food, and more. Upon move-out, we give families household items and furniture for their new house. All items are provided by supporters like yourself and are essential to our operation.
