Your support means the world to us and the people we know.

Finally, we take breakfast, hot coffee, water, snacks, and
Image description: Graphic has a white background with green grass growing up from the bottom. Green text at the top reads: Treehouse Transparency. Brown text under it reads: here's how we spent $$$ in the last few months. In the center of the graphic is a donut graph split into three sections with the Treehouse Collective logo at its center. One section is light blue, with blue text that reads: breakfast & coffee, $860, 26%. One section is green, with text that reads: covid-19 testing, $203, 6%. One section is gold, with gold text that reads: direct cash support, $687, 20%. One section is brown, with brown text that reads: distro supplies, $1595, 48%.
One of our values is transparency, and that means telling you exactly where donations go (even though it's taken a few months to post... sorry!) In the last few months, we've spent $3,345 total. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated through CA or our GB and purchased items off our WL.
May we all aspire to take care of each other like Ms Shirley did 💔

It's gonna snow 🥶 help us purchase heaters to take out with us this weekend! Heaters can keep folks alive when snow traps them in their tents. You can purchase a heater for ~ $35 off our WL, or donate to our CA or GB toward the purchase of a heater. Thank you so much for your support!
Hey, you know how these wealthy fascists don’t care who dies for their access to oil in Venezuela since they only care about short-term profit & not long-term outcomes for the human population or planet?
They feel the same way re COVID, flu, & healthcare in general.
A n95 in public is resistance.
If able, please donate to help us purchase heaters and warming supplies! They are truly lifesavers. Thank you all for your support!

We headed out for our weekly distro this morning. We took out warm sandwiches, hot coffee, and supplies, and we set up a heater so people could sit down and get warm while they eat.
Folks are doing okay with the cold, but are really looking for heaters to stay warm overnight.
You don't need to think about what is "normal."
You are you.
One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message.
Your soul is beautiful.
PS you can't blame us if the zines aren't professionally folded we weren't sober when we did them xoxo

Distro has been lovely the last few weeks! We've been saving up and got a little heater so when our pals come they can sit and warm up a bit while they eat their sandwiches and drink coffee. Big hit as it gets colder! Our friends are all grateful to ya'll for the supplies💚💚💚

Green and brown text says: "Why should I test for COVID-19? Good question! We know a lot of people think the pandemic is over. However, COVID-19 is still killing and disabling people around the globe. Choosing to reduce the risk of spreading it is an act of community care and radical solidarity with disabled, poor, and POC communities all over the world.

It's finally happening!!! We're launching a pilot of our free PCR-quality COVID-19 test program.

We saw our neighbors and talked about the coming cold weather; now is the time to start bringing winter supplies- hand warmers, hats, gloves, & socks, so this is where all donation dollars are going. Please consider giving to Joe's fundraiser, who lost everything in a fire, on our givebutter🖤

Distro! We had people come through, pick up breakfast and supplies, and sit and chat with us. Two folks got swept by NPS without notice, and they need new tents, sleeping bags, and clothes. If possible, please considering donating to our GN or from our WL to get them the supplies!
