Every contribution helps us welcome another family to a family-run hotel in the west of Ireland — a long weekend of warmth, a table set for Christmas dinner, and presents for their children to open on a Saturday morning.
A gift to The Christmas Table buys exactly what it sounds like: a room, a table, meals together, and presents for the children — for a family who would otherwise spend the season in emergency accommodation.
Amounts are illustrative, for donor communication — the programme pays full hotel rates, so real per-family costs vary with family size and travel.
Contributes toward a family's welcome hamper and Christmas treats.
Helps provide Christmas presents for the children in one family.
Covers a family's room and board for a night at the hotel.
Sponsors a significant share of one family's full long weekend.
Helps underwrite one family's whole long-weekend stay — accommodation, meals, presents, and transport.
Underwriting a family's place in full — including their share of transport, the resident host and the programme's running costs — is closer to €2,000–€3,000. We're glad to talk it through with patrons who'd like to give at that level.
Companies and patrons can underwrite one or more families, match their people's giving, or give in kind — gifts for the children, provisions, or transport. Named acknowledgement is offered where wanted, or you can give quietly.
Every gift is pooled toward the cost of the programme, and much of the variable budget — presents, hampers, transport — can be covered by donated goods and sponsorship. The hotel bill is paid in full by the Foundation.
