The Wishing Tree Project: Helping the Neediest Students at FCUSD

11/29/2025

We can use your help with the final items in our Amazon cart!

11/21/2025

Take advantage of Amazon's early Black Friday sale and shop our Amazon cart. All of the wish list items are requests from students and family members. Once the item is bought, it will be wrapped for the family, then brought to the school district on December 19th. On that day, parents pick up the gifts and hide them away to give during Christmas.

Help make an impact in the lives of the students and parents in our community.

This project is run by Rotary Club of Folsom and Folsom Cordova Unified School District.

Every year, we’re reminded just how meaningful this project is. The wish lists we receive come from families in our own community — children attending our local schools who are experiencing homelessness, living without a guardian, or being raised by struggling single parents. These are the neighbors who need a little extra support this season.

Most of the requests are simple and heartfelt — clothes, shoes, warm pajamas, or small toys — all typically within the $50 average gift.

If you adopt a wish list, you’re always welcome to add a little extra. Every act of kindness helps bring warmth and holiday joy to a local child. 💛

Here are a few examples of this year’s lists (with names and details removed for privacy).

We are actively matching individuals with family wish lists this holiday season — and we’re excited to help 60 more families this year!

You can also donate toward grocery gift cards through the Rotary Club of Folsom — the link is available on our website.

Thank you to everyone who has supported The Wishing Tree over the years — your generosity makes this project possible for the third year in a row! And to everyone joining us for the first time, welcome — we’re so glad to have you with us! 🌟
