FOLSOM- The Folsom Ice Rink has announced the selection of three local nonprofits as beneficiaries of this year’s “Donate & Skate” events at the Historic Folsom Ice Rink.
Each day, the rink will host multiple skating sessions at 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., with $4 from every admission ticket donated directly to the designated nonprofit to support its community programs. In addition, each nonprofit will host an information booth at the rink, giving guests an opportunity to learn more about the organization’s impact while enjoying the festive winter atmosphere.
Donate & Skate will take place Tuesday, November 18, 2025, benefiting Powerhouse Ministries; Monday, December 1, 2025, benefiting Twin Lakes Food Bank; and Tuesday, January 13, 2026, benefiting Sweet Dreams Foundation.
Powerhouse Ministries will receive support to fund its programs for individuals and families overcoming poverty, addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. In addition to skating, guests are encouraged to bring donations for Christmas Around Town, an annual outreach that provides holiday gifts, food, and support to local families in need. Suggested items include wrapping paper, clothes for adults and children, toys, and games. “We are grateful to the Historic Folsom Ice Rink for partnering with us in such a fun and meaningful way,” said Nancy Atchley, Executive Director of Powerhouse Ministries. “This event gives families a chance to enjoy the holiday season together while directly supporting the transformational work happening in our community.” Learn more at phmfolsom.org.
Twin Lakes Food Bank will benefit from ticket proceeds to further its mission of fighting hunger in Folsom. Food Bank staff will be onsite during the event to collect nonperishable food donations and connect with community members. “Twin Lakes Food Bank relies on community donations to serve our guests,” said Elizabeth Martin, Operations Coordinator at Twin Lakes Food Bank. “This partnership with the Folsom Historic District Association is a joyful way for families and friends to celebrate together while helping their neighbors in need.” Learn more at twinlakesfoodbank.org.
Sweet Dreams Foundation will use proceeds to support programs like Hope in Every Drop and Dream Bedrooms, which assist families with children battling life-threatening disease. Sweet Dreams will also host a booth at the rink, joined by Indulgence Coffee Co., which will donate proceeds from beverage sales during the event. Learn more at sweetdreams.org.
