Temecula, CA
Each Christmas Day for the last 31 years, Temecula area Rotary Clubs have come together with a mission to provide free hot Christmas meals for those who may be alone or unable to prepare a Christmas dinner. In 2025, The Community Christmas Dinner fed approximately 1,500 retirees, families, and anyone who needed to share in a fresh, hot Christmas dinner. But it's more than just a meal. Many come to also share in the camaraderie that may otherwise be absent on Christmas Day. Dinners are freshly prepared and include all the trimmings, sliced turkey, ham, potatoes with gravy, vegatables, roll and a slice of pie. Community volunteers also sign up to deliver hot meals to senior residence complexes and Oak Grove School. There were just over 300 hot meals sent out for delivery last year! The deliveries are done 10-12 at a time to assure the dinners get there hot/warm. On site dinners are prepared and served by volunteer servers at the MSJC Temecula campus in the school cafeteria.
