Treehouse serves children in foster care throughout King County by providing clothing, funds for musical instruments, summer camp experiences, tutoring and more.

Seattle (PRWEB) August 3, 2005 -- Team Reba of RE/MAX Metro Realty, Inc. announces today that it is holding a back-to-school clothing drive to benefit the childrens charity Treehouse™. The clothing drive will be held August 1 through August 12.

Treehouse serves children in foster care throughout King County by providing clothing, funds for musical instruments, summer camp experiences, tutoring and more. The clothing collected in this drive will allow children to do their back-to-school shopping" at Treehouses Wearhouse.

Team Reba is seeking donations of complete outfits for boys or girls, size 6 -- 20, or select items from a wish list that Treehouse has prepared including the following: new khakis or jeans, childrens sizes 6-20; long or short-sleeved polos, childrens sizes 6-20; hoodies for boys and girls, childrens sizes 6--20; new socks, childrens sizes S, M, L; new athletic/tennis shoes for boys and girls, sizes 4-13; and new underwear, boys boxers, briefs and undershirts, childrens sizes 6-20, and for girls panties and undershirts, childrens sizes 6-20.

Donations can be dropped off August 1-12 at the RE/MAX Metro Realty office, 2312 Eastlake Avenue E, Seattle, WA 98102. Team Reba can arrange for pick up for larger donations that consist of a minimum full bag of new clothing.

Team Reba has always been philanthropically minded, so working with the non-profit organization seemed like a natural choice. Lead Realtor® Rebecca Haas lives by a give before you get" philosophy and donates to charity a portion of her commission from each successful real estate transaction. When she recently learned of the work Treehouse was doing, she was excited to get involved. This is such a simple way to make a difference. Foster children live such unstable lives that you cant imagine how having a normal childhood experience as simple as new back-to-school clothes can make such a major impact."

Financial contributions will also be accepted during the drive. Checks should be made to Treehouse, and mailed in care of Team Reba to 2312 Eastlake Avenue E, Seattle, WA 98102.
