We as a community must find ways to live together in harmony and learn to appreciate one another's cultures and traditions. The Community Dinner encourages people from all sectors of the community to join together to share a meal, enjoy entertainment and build lasting friendships. Last year over 600 people enjoyed a meal and musicale highlighting the rich talent and generosity that characterize Orange County. We hope that you will want to be a part of the Twenty-second Annual Community Dinner and will consider sponsoring a family.
We have three levels of support for the dinner, Platinum at $500, Gold at $200, and Silver at $100.
Feed a Family of Four for $22.00
We have two ways to feed a family of four. Checks should made payable to the Community Dinner, and sent to Nerys Levy at 161 Swansea Lane, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. Our second way is online. By creating an account through Orange County, as they are our fiscal agent, you can feed a family of four for $22. Once your account is created you will be given the option of continuing on to the donation page. There you will find a dropdown menu labeled "Select a Fund." Choose "Community Dinner." You will then receive a tax receipt from the Triangle Community Foundation. We thank you for feeding a family of four.
Feeding 600 people and all of our entertainers is a daunting task. Mama Dip's Kitchen and the Community Dinner Committee will coordinate the menu and, together with the Carolina Inn, will provide the basis of the Dinner's main course. We will need additional food and again this year we are hoping to get many local restaurants and businesses involved in this celebration.
For our last dinner over ninety organizations, including twenty-five restaurants, gave generously to the event. Your contribution is tax deductible, and, as a participant you will be recognized as a contributor in all our publicity, on our website and at the Dinner. The event will be held on a Sunday, April 30, at 1:00 pm in the McDougle Schools Cafeteria in Carrboro.
The Community Dinner is not a fundraising but a community building event and our fiscal agent is The Orange County Department of Human Rights and Relations. All food donations go directly to the dinner and most of the financial support buys tickets for many people with disabilities, including economically challenged families.
