For the 2020/21 school year, members of our club participated in Distance Learning Support, a program that assists 4^th-8^th grade refugee youth in our community with distance learning.  We supported students in working toward completing their online school assignments and providing online tutoring assistance for math and history.  It was a great way to get to know and help the refugee students in our community.

The Gift Of Happiness

Four years and running with Natoma Station Elementary. This school, their students and families are amazing. What a thrill it is to be a part of this great community in Folsom. We are so appreciative of the generous donations each year that help families in need. This Warm & Fuzzy Drive helped benefit refugee families at White Rock Elementary in Rancho Cordova. We would love to thank Courtney Morales and the student council at Natoma Station as well as the Assistant Principle of White Rock Elementary, Kim Christierson for all of the work done on this project. 

Building Community Through Serving

We are so thankful for all the supplies donated by the Lakeridge Ward for this move in. This group of youth were especially helpful as we unloaded, set up and decorated a new home for an incoming family of seven from Afghanistan. It is always amazing that we come to serve and give to others and yet we are the ones who leave with our burdens lightened and our hearts full.

Supply With Love

Our first apartment move in this year was for a family of six from Afghanistan. It was a joy to work with a new group, The Freedom Foundation Club at Folsom High School. This club focuses on understanding their responsibilities as a US citizen, getting involved and contributing service to the community. 

Carson Fellows and Clara Zinn led a group that organized and collected donations for all of the household supplies needed for this incoming family. As well, this youth group went above and beyond making sure that the kids had books, toys, puzzles, clothing and darling stuffed animals placed on each of the children’s beds. 

Thank you for all of your great help, the donations from the Folsom 3rd Ward and for volunteering your time to move everything in. We appreciate the final touches of decorating this apartment with pumpkins, and a welcome sign and your loving touch.  

Freedom Foundation Festival

Had a great time handing out awards and swag bags to participants in the 5K and 10K run at the Freedoms Foundation Festival.

Club Signing Day

Today was a great success with the students that showed interested and joined Without A Roof.  We have many great activities planned throughout the year and are excited to get to work. Our first meeting will be held on October 3rd, and we will start to coordinate plans for our first upcoming event. We hope that the smoldering look on our faces actually encouraged others to get involved!?! 

Back To School

We had a great service project this summer where we helped with funding, collecting and making of 36 blankets. We also collected back to school supplies and donated all of this to refugees in the Sacramento Area. This was a part of the Folsom Stake Youth Conference where there were many happy and willing hands at work. Thank you for the donations and all of the hard work!
