The first year, the organizers of “10,000 Christmases in one” set a goal of serving 10,000 people, and they ended up providing dinners to 13,000.
By 2021, the projected number of beneficiaries was 20,000 people. However, they provided dinners to 30,000.
This year, the estimated number of people that will be served by this initiative is 40,000.
“The novelty is not that they just give food, but that it’s a sign of peace and unity in helping each other,” Magdaleno said.
Graciela Ciociano, a representative of the Jewish community in Guadalajara, said that if this year they reach the goal of feeding 40,000 needy people, the initiative “10,000 Christmases in one” will have fed a total of 100,000 people since it began.
This year’s Christmas dinner will consist of tamales and a variety of desserts, and so the organizers are asking citizens to bring supplies and donations to the offices of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara.
