The Dotrin presents
The Daily Fellowship of Bread
What we believe
We believe in the Dot. The center is the faith, and it is all. It is one point, called by a thousand names, small enough to hold and big enough to hold us all.
Every tradition, every name for the divine, every soul, all of it is held in that one point.
This faith is called the Dotrin.

Where we are
Chapters
Two cities, one fellowship. The same name, the same table, and the same welcome in both.

Sacramento
Free food every Sunday afternoon at Sacramento Rehearsal Studios, 5749 88th Street, led by Albert Roth. No ID, no paperwork.
Give
Join the circle
A membership is a monthly gift that keeps the table set all year. Every member is a dot in the pattern, small on its own, part of something whole. Give what you can; change or cancel anytime.

Nothing. Food is always free, for anyone who comes.
Do I need to sign up or qualify?
You don't need to prove anything to receive food. In Sacramento, just turn up: the day, time and address are on the Sacramento branch page. In Los Angeles, email us and we'll send you the details.
When and where is the distribution?
In Sacramento, every Sunday from 3 to 6pm at Sacramento Rehearsal Studios, 5749 88th Street; see the Sacramento branch. In Los Angeles we're just getting started and don't have a set schedule yet, so email us and we'll tell you about the first one as soon as it's set.
What kind of food do you share?
Wholesome surplus produce, bread, and pantry goods recovered from local grocers and retailers, good food that would otherwise be thrown away.

No. We're a faith community, but the table is open to everyone, whatever you believe. Receiving food and volunteering come with no expectations.
