UPDATE 2/1/18:  Thank you to all who brought donations for our drive.  Our collective donation of 43 pieces, ranging from handy tote bags to rolling duffles to a full-sized, never-been-used, 3-piece luggage set was much appreciated by the staff at the Treehouse wearHouse.  Thank you Erica for the tour and thank you Dana for answering all our questions. 🙂

01/01/18 – Many foster children are moved from house to house with nothing more than a trash bag to carry their belongings. During an already emotionally sensitive time, this can further damage anyone’s feelings of self-confidence.

Help these children and youth regain a sense of self-worth by donating gently used luggage, bags, and backpacks to Travel Leaders locations in Tacoma & Lakewood. Donations will be distributed via “the Wearhouse” at Treehouse in Seattle, which remains stocked with items that help youth feel good, fit in with their peers, and have what they need to succeed.

Travel Leaders will be collecting donations from our South Puget Sound offices January 1 -31, 2018.  Luggage, backpacks, and bags are preferred for this drive, however the Wearhouse also has a list of accepted clothing requests, which can be found here.

If you have further questions about the Travel Leaders Luggage drive or would like to make a monetary donation, contact us at the phone numbers below or email us via our website.
