THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CLUB OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY (CUCFC), CT, CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR SPECIAL DAY OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AT THE STOP & SHOP at 44 LAKE AVENUE IN DANBURY. 

For years, CUCFC has contributed to Fairfield community in line with Columbia University’s commitment to making a difference in communities world-wide through its alumni groups.  In 2025, we executed much-valued and successful giving-back drives with Operation Hope in Fairfield Town, New Convenant Food Pantry in Stamford, and Pacific House in Norwalk. Our next and final community service event this year is a food drive in Danbury to support DOROTHY DAY HOSPITALITY HOUSE, a food bank that served 52,000 meals last year -- over 140 each day!!

Volunteers do all the work at Dorothy Day House -- there is no paid staff. In addition, Dorothy Day Hospitality House is based on the Houses of Hospitality founded by Dorothy Day during the Great Depression. Dorothy Day Hospitality House is not formally affiliated with any religious organization, and people of all faiths participate in their work.

To volunteer for the Food Drive event, on the right screen, please input how many other people you are bringing (children are welcome and must be 13 years or older), then click on your choice of 2-hour shift(s), then click "SEND RSVP" to register. The Food Drive event will run for four hours, from 9 am to 1 pm in two-hour shifts (9 am - 11 am, and 11 am - 1 pm). You can serve for the 4 hours (9 am - 1 pm) if you wish, or choose the 2-hour segment you prefer.
