Congrats to this month’s nonprofit beneficiary: FOLSOM’S HOPE
Folsom’s Hope has been working alongside Folsom-Cordova Unified School District—and in partnership with other community organizations—for more than 14 years, providing mentoring, tutoring, support, and encouragement for at-risk youth.
Terry Carroll, publisher of STYLE Magazine; Salwa Kasabian, founder and director of Folsom’s Hope; and Frank Visconti, chef and owner of Visconti’s Ristorante.
Founder and director Salwa Kasabian started creating programming almost 15 years ago when her own children were attending Theodore Judah Elementary School, and her eyes were opened to various hardships some of the students faced.
We’re so thankful to live in such a generous community,
Since then, the organization has grown beyond Theodore Judah to other school sites. To date, they’ve reached almost 900 at-risk students and families in various capacities, including their lunch buddy mentoring program, after-school STARS program, and monthly parenting classes.
