Spend a day with the Seattle Club volunteering at Treehouse to make a
difference for local children in foster care! Friday, January 26 or Saturday, January 27 The Wearhouse, an innovative retail concept, is one of six Treehouse programs available to youth in foster care in King County. Children often enter foster care with nothing more than a garbage bag containing the few clothes they can actually call their own and the state's limited allowance does not pay for many items these growing kids need. The Wearhouse "store" provides new and gently used clothing, toys, school supplies, books and hygiene items at no cost to youth in foster care and is frequently the only source available to them and their caregivers to help make ends meet. Volunteers will work a few hours sorting, tagging and restocking merchandise Friday, January 26 or Saturday, January 27 at the Wearhouse. Pizza will be provided for volunteers. More information. |
