Putting the “FUN” in FUNdraising!

Sixteen years ago a group of friends, families and businesses now known as the Friends of Folsom “Framily” began participating in the Sacramento County Food Bank Annual Turkey Drive. The first year, the donation was 200 turkeys. Since that year we have joined hands with more and more small businesses, vendors, customers, members of the community as well as their families and friends to feed over 100,000 families.

Each Year, the donation has grown due to more people and businesses taking part. The words “every little bit helps” have never been so evident throughout the years. Any donation is greatly appreciated. With the help of Walmart, we can get a family fed for around $10 dollars. Please find it in your heart to take a few minutes to make a contribution.

In addition, all donations of any size will receive a charitable donation receipt, you can donate right HERE or make a check payable to Friends of Folsom and send it to: 705 E Bidwell Street, Suite 2 Box #298, Folsom, CA 95763.
