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.
Get your drive started now, or check out our step-by-step instructions below!
We are unable to accept general donations this year due to covid restrictions, but you can still purchase toys and clothes for young people in foster care through online wish list.

The Treehouse Store’s Wish List
A few hints for best use of the wish list:
- You must be signed in to an Amazon account.
- Empty your Amazon cart before shopping for Treehouse youth – this will make the default shipping location Treehouse. If there are items that are not from Treehouse’s Charity List in your shopping cart, you’ll have to select shipping locations for each item from the shipping option page during checkout.
- If you want a tax receipt for the items they purchase from our Charity List, they can fill our in-kind receipt, which will generate an email receipt for tax purposes
4 - Collect Donations
Your donation drive supports youth in care with:
