Operating out of 11 Spring Street in Danbury, the Morning Glory Breakfast Program is conveniently located within the Dorothy Day Hospitality House. Morning Glory collaborates with other agencies to offer a safe and welcoming environment for those in need. Each day, we serve approximately 100 hot meals, totaling over 2,000 meals every month. There is no cost associated with meals or engagement with visiting agencies; all participation in services and programs remains completely voluntary.
