Holiday Warmth


We just finished our Warm and Fuzzy Drive at Natoma Station Elementary in Folsom today. We were able to collect items to help keep refugees warm this winter. We could not have done this without the help of this amazing school, administration, teachers and their students. We were able to collect many blankets, sheets and articles of clothing. Their greatest donation was mittens, hats and socks. Thank you for donating and warming up 105 hands, 86 heads and 149 feet!

Move In Time

Taking the time to help set up apartments for incoming refugees has been an amazing hand on experience for our club. The time we spent together had a lot of meaning to those who participated in making sure that we set up a home that would be clean, organized and welcoming to these families. We were able to put furniture together, make beds, stock cupboards and drawers, organize utensils, kitchen necessities, cleaning products, and bathroom supplies. It was great to take the time to serve and leave feeling a little bit closer to who were helping.  We all left excited with huge smiles on our faces and the feelings of joy in our hearts.
