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.
