Seattle City Light Starts Holiday Drive For Foster Kids

SEATTLE, WA - If you get your morning (or afternoon) coffee at a downtown Seattle Starbucks location, you can help Seattle City Light donate Christmas gifts to local foster children.

The utility is expanding a fundraiser that began last year at the Seattle Municipal Tower Starbucks location. This year, the holiday drive has expanded to 14 locations between Belltown and Sodo.

Here's how it works: when you go to a participating Starbucks, you'll see gift tags hanging on the wall. Each tag has a specific gift for a child in foster care. Bring the tag with you to the register, and you can buy the gift.

Here are the participating Starbucks locations:

• Seattle Municipal Tower
• Bank of America Building
• Columbia Center (Atrium level and 40th floor)
• 1st and Marion
• 3rd and Madison
• 2nd and Seneca
• 3rd and Seneca
• 4th and Seneca
• 12th and Columbia
• Two Union Building
• US Bank Centre
• Metropolitan Park East
• 1700 7th Ave
• Zulily – 2601 Elliott Ave
• 4th and Diagonal

The local nonprofit Treehouse is helping Seattle City Light reach foster kids. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 14. You can also make cash donations here.
