Prepare and serve cafeteria-style breakfast to drop-in guests in the orbit of People's Park, Berkeley. Three to five volunteers make breakfast at the Men's Shelter kitchen, 1931 Center St. Berkeley, truck it to Trinity Methodist Church near the campus where it is served to 100 or more drop-in guests, and wash up at the Men's Center, 6:30AM until 9:30 or 10 every day except Sunday. Sign up for one or more days a month. Food and materials are supplied by Dorothy Day House. We serve coffee, a choice of hot cereals, eggs or meat, toast and fresh fruit. We have worked out menus that are good to eat and easy to make and transport.

About Dorothy Day House of Berkeley

Mission Statement
The Dorothy Day House of Berkeley is a non-denominational community of volunteers who are dedicated to feeding the hungry and providing dignified hospitality to the poor. The name refers to our origins in the Catholic Worker movement; we are not a residential community.
Description
Daily breakfast is served to residents of Berkeley's long-term Men's Shelter and at Trinity Methodist Church (near U.C. campus) to drop-in guests. We also coordinate dinner for the Men's Shelter every evening, and run a foul-weather shelter on rainy nights. We have served free breakfasts in the People's Park neighborhood for more than 20 years. During the struggle to keep the park open we worked out of an illegal trailer -- the People's Cafe -- there. Now the City of Berkeley subsidizes some of our services, though we are completely dependent on volunteer labor and have no office or paid administrative staff.
