Dorothy Day House of Berkeley

I opened up a Unilocal account to post this review, so it’s that serious.
Dorothy Day House of Berkeley is one of so many amazing organizations in the Bay Area working to help those who are down on their luck for whatever reason. No matter how good your life is, you never know when the shit will hit the fan and you’ll be down and out too, and its groups like this that will make everything just a little less difficult.
I’m a volunteer and this is truly one of the highlights of my week. I get up every Saturday at 5am and do so happily. The volunteers are amazing people just looking to help others and the people we serve are generous, thoughtful and appreciative.
I originally started volunteering here because I, like so many others, was very confused about the rampant homelessness in the Bay Area. It’s hard to come to terms with our fellow human beings sleeping in store fronts in the cold while dozens of people step around them to get their morning coffee. Obviously the issue is huge and will likely never be solved, but if you’ve ever wanted to do a little more, this might be the way to do it.
And if you’re hungry and need a meal, you should stop by too.
