Stuff the Bus for Children's Home + Aid

Stuff the Bus kicked off their 15th annual donation drive in the Twin Cities Monday. The Children's Home + Aid, and the Crisis Nursery partnered with Paul Davis Restoration, Connect Transit, and Great Plains Media---including CITIES 92.9 to gather donations.

They are collecting diapers, new clothes, toys, non-perishable foods, and any other items used by children from newborn to 6-years-old. Anything collected during the drive will go toward restocking the pantries at the Children's Home + Aid, and Crisis Nursery.

The goal is to fill the pantries for an entire year.

Connect Transit will park a bus at various locations throughout Bloomington-Normal and challenge the community to “stuff the bus” full of items for the Crisis Nursery.
