Dorothy's Kitchen - Dorothy's Place

Dorothy’s Kitchen is a full-service, commercial kitchen serving delicious meals from fresh ingredients.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, we’re still offering twice-daily meals to be picked up at the door. 

After two years of serving “to-go” meals from our Dining Room door, Dorothy’s Kitchen Will Begin Patio Dining in June 2022 VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO GREET AND SERVE OUR GUESTS!

Culinary professionals and volunteers serve breakfast from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and lunch from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. every day of the year, including weekend and holidays.

WE NEED SANDWICHES!  We prefer to serve a hot breakfast and hot lunch, but on days when we’re short on team members, a hot, homemade soup and bag lunch to-go hits the spot!

We have a Dorothy’s Kitchen Wish List on smile.amazon.com: https://amzn.to/34AcsNX

On special occasions, such as Thanksgiving, we exceed that number and will serve nearly 1,000 meals, so remember to check back in October and get on the Thanksgiving volunteer sign-up list for a special holiday experience!

We have multiple partners throughout the Monterey County community that support our nutritional program; however, we are always searching for new organizations to join us by either supplying food staples, volunteering, or both.  If you wish to join us in feeding the poor, please contact Kitchen Manager Julieta Borges, julieta.borges@dorothysplace.org or call (831) 276-5123.

Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for breakfast and 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. for lunch every day
