This year's WDTL Back to School Drive supports Treehouse in the Seattle area and Unity in the Community in Spokane.

Unity in the Community's annual Back-To-School Supply Drive collects and distributes much needed supplies to children in the Spokane area.

Since 1988, Treehouse has assisted youth in foster care and has been dedicated to closing the academic gap between youth in foster care and their peers.
