Dorothy Day Center

St. Agnes Day Room was founded in 1992 to serve the basic needs of the poor and the homeless in the West Chester Area. The Day Room continues to provide hospitality to those in need in a caring and welcoming environment where we seek to serve anyone who comes to us in need of assistance.

 Day Room tiene alimentos de primera necesidad, si alguien necesita comida o otra asistencia. 

We are currently in need of winter clothing especially hats, gloves and socks. Please call the Day Room (610-429-0697) between 9:30 and 3:00 to arrange a drop off time.

Healthy Baby Program

We need your assistance in helping provide for the babies in our life!  Many poor families rely on our Healthy Baby Program for emergency supplies.  Please consider making a donation of any of the following:  Diapers in all sizes, wipes, baby wash and shampoo and baby bottles.  All of these items are needed and appreciated.
