The Dorothy Day House, 620 Belmont Ave., opened Nov. 22, 2009. According to its website, the organization's hospitality "consists of a hot meal, coffee, a safe place to relax, a shower, and most of all a warm welcome with the offer of friendship and the promise of respect for everyone who walks through our doors."

Dinner is served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and free showers are offered from 2 to 4:45 p.m. Tuesdays.
