We’re Collecting Toys and Other Items for Local Foster Care Youth!
Did you know that nearly 9,000 children in foster care in our state wake up to unfamiliar surroundings each morning? We want to ensure that the holiday season is bright for these youth by collecting gifts for Treehouse thru December 13th! Treehouse gives foster youth a childhood and a future. Their goal is to have foster youth graduate from highschool at the same rate as their peer, as well as help them create a plan for their future. Donation drives hosted throughout the community on behalf of Treehouse ensure that no child in foster care goes without the essentials this holiday season.
Holiday Drive Gift Ideas:
Light up the faces of a foster youth this holiday season with a special holiday gift! Some of the gift ideas Treehouse has suggested include new clothing items (specific needs listed below), gifts for teens, new or lightly used toys, as well as shoes and accessories.
