Holiday Giving: SGA community support for Treehouse and youth in foster care
For Washington’s over 10,000 kids in foster care, the holidays can be a particularly difficult time – away from familiar people and places, uncertainty in their immediate future, unsure if anyone will remember them when festivities take place. Since 1988, Treehouse’s core mission has been to support every child that has experienced foster care.
For years now, SGA has been proud to partner with Treehouse. And every year, the kindness and generosity of our community helps fuel these efforts.
This year, we have three ways to support Treehouse:
- Drop off new, unwrapped clothing, toys and hygiene items for foster kids (baby to adult) to any SGA location (Ballard, Burien, Columbia City, Lake City or Mill Creek). Please drop-off items by December 15 to ensure we can get them to Treehouse in enough time for holiday distribution. You can find a needed supply list on our fundraising page (below).
- Donate a monetary gift to our Treehouse fundraising page. Donate anytime, no cut-off date.
- Purchase a wishlist item from Treehouse’s Dream List, which will be sent directly to the organization. Donate anytime, no cut-off date as items are continuously needed and wishlists are updated.
Treehouse not only helps provide foster children with clothes and necessities, they also work to provide services such as one-on-one academic support, identity-developing experiences like summer camp, sports and more, plus assist older foster youth transitioning to adult independence by funding for driver’s ed, licensing fees and car insurance and with weekly one-on-one support.
The needs Treehouse supports continue to rise every year.
We are filled with gratitude for our community this holiday season. Thank you for supporting SGA, Treehouse and youth in foster care!
