Host a Drive or Event
Rally Your Network to Support Treehouse
Donation drives and community events hosted on behalf of Treehouse ensure that no child in foster care goes without the essentials.
Donation drives ensure that our free store for youth in foster care remains stocked with items that help youth feel good and fit in with their peers. Thanks to our generous donation drive hosts, Treehouse distributes clothing and toys to youth all across the state.
We are unable to accept used donations due to COVID-19 restrictions, but you can still work with our community engagement team to host a material drive that will meet the most critical needs of youth in foster care. Contact us at drives@treehouseforkids.org.
You can also share our Wishlist. Items ordered from our wishlist are shipped directly to our free store and distributed to youth. Start online shopping today
