Stuff the Truck 2026

Junior League of Cedar Rapids and Foundation 2 Crisis Services are partnering to serve young people aging out of foster care for our sixth annual Stuff the Truck fundraiser!
Join us on Tuesday, December 1 between 7 A.M. and 2 P.M. at Craft'd in Downtown Cedar Rapids to 'stuff the truck' with requested basic living supplies to support young people establishing independence after foster care. The suitcases contain basic necessities for independent living - perhaps items that a family member or loved one helped you get for your first apartment. Each suitcase is valued at approximately $700.
Each donation supports the Apartment in a Suitcase program and transforms the life of a young person in our community.
Items needed this year:
- Kitchen knives
- Suitcase
- Laundry detergent
- Tool kit
- Trash bags
- Bathroom rug
- Pencil box
- Hand soap
- Scissors
- Tape
- Laundry basket
- Laundry bag
- Plastic food storage container set

- Sewing kit
- Manicure set
- Shower hooks
- Cutting board
