This session will begin on Tuesday September 20th at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom. Space is limited.
The Auction Committee is Now Forming
We are planning this year’s Auction and we’d like to invite anyone who’s interested to come help us put on another wonderful event! If interested please get in touch. And for everyone else, please be thinking about whether there’s something you’d like to donate this year – a service, a dinner or group outing, a craft item or maybe an heirloom. We’ll let you know more details about the Auction as soon as we can!
Our Caring Circle is Available
Our ‘Care Coordinator’ receives requests and answers questions for the Caring Circle. Please note that your call will be returned as quickly as possible but it may be at the end of the day.

Soup Kitchen Corner
by Judy Lacker
On Saturday, September 3rd , some members of Soup Kitchen Team #3 will be returning to the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen on Spring Street to help serve take-out meals that were cooked in volunteers’ homes as well as bagged sandwiches for lunches and breakfasts and hot lunches for Pacific House also prepared in volunteers’ homes as well as through donations. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to serve the guests a meal inside because of the Covid pandemic. You can also help feed our neighbors with a gift card in any amount from any local supermarket. In addition, you can still continue to make food donations to the Daily Bread Food Pantry (25 West Street – entrance off Terrace Place). Donations are accepted on Mondays between 11 am and 2 pm and on Fridays between 8:30 am and 11:30 am. Lynn has been scheduling the sandwich donations so we have just the right amount each day at Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen. If you are interested in making sandwiches, please email her at ddhhsandwiches@gmail.com. We can all be an important part of the fight to end hunger in our community!
