Nonprofit Spotlight: Treehouse, supporting kids in foster care

0

Treehouse is now asking people around Washington to support youth in foster care by hosting donation drives and helping raise money to meet the increased needs this holiday season.

“With the recent expansion of statewide eligibility for Treehouse programs, hundreds more youth have enrolled in our programs,” said Victoria Kutasz, Resources and Operations Director at Treehouse. “We need the public’s support now more than ever.”

Treehouse opened its eligibility for school-ages programs to all of Washington, to ensure a Treehouse staff member can be by their side connecting them to resources no matter where they live.

Nearly 4,300 students received a gift or support during the 2022 holiday season and with the demand expected to increase this year Treehouse is asking for your help.

How you can help

Host a donation drive

Encourage your community to make purchases from the Treehouse wish list.

Start a fundraising page.

The money raised through peer-to-peer fundraising helps to fill in the gaps in inventory at the Treehouse Store, pay for shipping costs and support funding requests for activities and expenses related to school and youth development.

Purchase items from Treehouse’s wish list.

This list is kept up to date with the items most requested by youth and their caregivers.
