Dorothy Day House serves breakfast six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Our breakfasts on are pretty simple. We serve oatmeal, grits, Cream of Wheat, bread, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, milk, juice and coffee. Sometimes we have meat, and often we have pastries donated by local bakers. On Saturdays we usually serve scrambled eggs, potatoes or pancakes and other items as they come available.

We serve 50 men at the Berkeley Men's Shelter in the basement of the Veterans Building at 1931 Center Street at 6:00AM.

We also serve a 7:00AM Breakfast at Christ Church, 2138 Cedar St. This meal is generally served to people who are still homeless, many if not most, still living on the streets.

o Our first volunteers arrive at 5:00AM to cook oatmeal, hard Boiled Eggs, make toast etc. for the 6:00 meal
o The Second volunteers arrive at 6:00 to do the same for the 7:00 meal.
o We also have other volunteers who come at 7:00 to just serve at the 7:00 meal. In addition we have other volunteers who arrive at 8:30 to 9:00 to help unload, restock supplies, prep food and do general cleanup. We have some opening on varying days for all of these shifts. There is no requirement for experience in these areas.

We also have a few shifts later in the morning for people who can help with prep work, cleanup, ware-washing, picking up and putting away deliveries and donations.

We prefer to have people who can initially help on a specific shift on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. We do this to keep the schedule and training as simple as possible, but we are also willing to consider a more varied schedule.

Well, that's what we do. We are all relaxed (as is the spirit of Berkeley and Dorothy Day). We are a group of people who genuinely care about the work we do, the people we serve and the community we share. If this still seems like a fit, feel free to send an e-mail, text or call letting me know when you'd like to volunteer. Come for a day and continue as long as you'd like.

Thank you
