Seattle, WALocal News

KIRO Newsradio's 35th Annual Holiday Magic campaign partners with the Treehouse organization to bring joy to foster children during the festive season. Colleen O'Brien's visit to the Treehouse Store illustrates how the program allows children in foster care to select gifts that reflect their personalities, boosting their self-esteem and confidence. Serving approximately 8,000 youth in the Washington foster care system, the Holiday Magic initiative ensures many children receive their first gift or warm coat, fostering a sense of belonging. Program Director Victoria Kutasz emphasizes the importance of creating a joyful shopping experience for these children. The demand for Treehouse's services has surged post-pandemic, underscoring the community's need for support.

Donations are crucial for maintaining this impactful program, which aims to ensure every child feels loved and included during the holiday season.
