Tuesday, April 23 @ 6:30 PM is the next Folsom City Council meeting. If you care about limiting more growth in the area South of 50, attend this meeting to let your feelings be known. AKT Development will be “workshopping” a proposal for further annexation of our city in order to build a significant new housing development. City council will NOT be making a decision regarding annexation at this meeting. The agenda item is informational for future potential action by city council. See the agenda here:

The City Council has adopted a policy that no new item will begin after 10:30 p.m.  Therefore, if you are here for an item that has not been heard by 10:30 p.m., you may leave, as the item will be continued to a future Council meeting.

We did it, HFRA Members! This year we donated even more citrus fruit to Twin Lakes Food Bank than we did last year. In addition, many of you heard about their need for other types of food donations like canned chicken, macaroni and cheese, cereal and other non perishable items and you dropped those off too! Although our drive has ended, you can still take donations directly to Twin Lakes Food Bank. Thank you for your generosity!

The board meets once per month to discuss issues of importance to the residents of the historic district. We'd love to have you come be a part of our efforts! Any HFRA member is eligible, whether you own or rent property in the historic district. If you're thinking about it, but would like to learn more, reach out to us and we can connect you with a current board member to ask questions.

It's getting warmer, and this means our citrus fruit has a limited life span. Consider donating citrus from your tree to Twin Lakes Food Bank! Drop off citrus in the blue bin on the Trinity Church Thrift Shop located at 412 Wool Street. We'll pick up and donate tomorrow!

Wow, HFRA Members!!! We called and you answered! This week’s donations were the largest haul yet! A crate of oranges, a crate of lemons, a full grocery bag of oranges and a full grocery bag of giant lemons….PLUS canned chicken and two big boxes of Mac & Cheese! We so appreciate your generosity! Our donations continue every week through the end of March so keep them coming! After that, Twin Lakes Food Bank will continue to accept direct donations to help feed our neighbors who suffer from good scarcity. Love our community! ♥️💕♥️
