DOROTHY DAY-CATHOLIC WORKER COLLECTION
 UNITY KITCHEN COMMUNITY (SYRACUSE, NEW YORK) RECORDS, 1970-

Administrative History

Unity Kitchen was opened by Bob Russell and Father Ted Sizing in 1970. By 1980, wife Ann O'Connor (d. 2015) and husband Peter King largely assumed responsibility for the kitchen and remained in this role until its closure in 2021.

Scope & Content

This collection is comprised of records detailing day-to-day function for Unity Kitchen, writings by the members of the house as well as about it, and correspondence related to Unity Kitchen and its workers.

Please note that Peter King, a long time volunteer for Unity Kitchen, has a separate collection under series number W-93. While this collection is largely comprised of King's theological work and related correspondence, more recent issues of the Unity Grapevine (2016- 2021) and a few other miscellaneous records from Unity Kitchen are included.
