Donation protected
***For Rotary transparency purposes, you will see the beneficiary on your donation page as Anne Moriaty. Anne is our Area Governor overviewing the project to track the funds raised.***
NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS!!
The Christmas Donate-a-Dinner is a Rotary in Chelmsford initiative. Its goal is to provide Christmas Dinner Hampers to Chelmsford families-in-need.
We teamed up with Home-Start Essex to provide for as many families as possible. Home-Start Essex is an organisation that provides support to disadvantaged and vulnerable families who have at least one child under the age of 8. To read more about this great organisation, please visit HomeStart Essex
Each hamper will provide a full Christmas dinner to feed a family of 4-6. The products in the hamper are: Frozen Turkey (£16), potatoes (£1.19), vegetables (£1), stuffing mix (£0.40), yorkshire puddings (£1), gravy granules (£0.30), 6 mince pies (£0.87), sausage rolls (£1.25), and Christmas crackers (£3) for a total of £25 per hamper.
We are reaching out to our community for help. We are not asking for any amount - simply just what you can give! If you are looking forward to a Christmas dinner with your family this year, help another family enjoy, too!
Help us spread the word and bring some holiday cheer by sharing this page with your family & friends!
For other means of payment, and all other inquiries, please email: [email redacted] (remove the spaces)
Thank you so much for your consideration and donation, and a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Seasons Greetings, and Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Why we started this project:
In October, the Rotary Satellite Club Chelmsford City initiated a fundraiser called the 545 Challenge. The goal was raise money for the Chelmsford Foodbank and the challenge consisted of only being able to spend £5 on food and drink over 5 days - that's £1 a day! We ended up raising £360 for the Foodbank. At the end of the challenge we all admitted how much it put into perspective how fortunate we were to look forward to our usual food luxuries. And while we are looking forward to having Christmas dinner with our families, it occurred to us that others probably weren't going to be as fortunate this year, especially due to the devastation that Covid-19 has caused on the community. We created The Christmas Donate-a-Dinner initiative to be able to help those in need enjoy a Christmas dinner with their family.
