Temecula Community Christmas Dinner

Temecula Community Christmas Dinner Since 1994, Our Local Community has celebrated Christmas Day & Dinner together. Join us! The 2023 dinner will be held at the Mt.

As we all know, the holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and acts of kindness. Unfortunately, there are many individuals in our community who are alone during this special
time. This is why we are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request to support our
upcoming Community Christmas Dinner. This will be the 29th year that the Community Christmas Dinner has been held in Temecula,


which is sponsored by the local Rotary Clubs. This remarkable event brings together seniors,
families, and children from all walks of life. San Jacinto
College Temecula campus. Last year, thanks to the support of our community, we were able to serve approximately 1,050
individuals at the Community Christmas Dinner. Santa gives out gifts to children and seniors at the dinner. This year, we will also be giving blankets to the senior citizens in attendance. Your generous donation of $15 will provide a meal. A $12 donation will provide a gift for one child, ensuring that everyone has a magical Christmas experience. Here are four ways you can help us make a difference:
1. Donate: Visit our online donation page at https://community-christmas-dinner.square.site/ and contribute. Every dollar makes a difference, and your support will brighten someone's
Christmas Day.
2. Spread the word: Share our fundraising campaign on your social media platforms,
encouraging your friends and family to join us in making a positive impact on Christmas Day. Use the hashtag to amplify our message.
3. Support: If you own a business or know someone who does, we would greatly appreciate
support for this event. Your donation will be acknowledged and your business logo will be
posted on our social media channels.
4. Attend the dinner: Join us on Christmas Day at Mt. San Jacinto College to celebrate the spirit of giving and enjoy a heartwarming meal. Together, we can make this holiday season a little brighter for those in our community. Your
support will bring smiles to the faces of children, warmth to the hearts of seniors, and remind
us all of the true meaning of Christmas. On behalf of the Rotary Clubs and all volunteers involved, we extend our deepest gratitude for your consideration and support. Your kindness will truly make a difference in the lives of many.

💛 NO ONE FORGOTTEN 💛
One of the most beautiful aspects of the Community Christmas Dinner is our commitment to reach EVERYONE in our community—even those who can't leave home.
Every Christmas, our dedicated volunteers deliver approximately 250 complete holiday meals to homebound seniors throughout Temecula Valley. These aren't just meals—they're moments of connection, joy, and reminder that they're valued members of our community.
For many seniors, this visit is the highlight of their Christmas Day. Volunteers bring not just food, but conversation, smiles, and the warmth of knowing someone cares.
This is what community looks like. ❤️
