Help us collect 2,000 brand-new, unwrapped toys for Christmas Around Town and help bring joy to children and families in our community!
Every toy makes a difference. A simple gift can bring a child joy, encourage a parent, and remind a family that they are seen and loved. It's also a beautiful way to live out our BEYOND Vision by investing in families and generations to come.

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS AROUND TOWN?
Christmas Around Town is a community-wide effort involving dozens of Folsom churches and organizations to provide a shopping experience, meal, and program for neighbors experiencing financial hardship. Sponsored by Lakeside mission partner Powerhouse Ministries and hosted at Lakeside, this incredible event serves 825 guests with the help of 400 volunteers. Lakeside is responsible for the toy store, where parents get to choose gifts for their children with dignity and joy.
