Event Description

We are excited to host our fourth annual Trunk Party this August for our youth who are heading to college. For many of our participants, acquiring just school supplies has always been a challenge. Now, they are leaving home and heading out on their own for the first time in their lives. Our goal is to create trunks of supplies for our youth to take with them to school so they can arrive prepared and ready to learn.

Trunks will include items such as:

Back packs , notebooks , twin Size Sheet Set (extra-long) , pillow , laundry detergent, shower caddy , shower shoes, bath towels , first aid kits, AND MORE!

How to Help

Purchase items from our Amazon wish list . All items will be shipped directly to UCAN.

You can also donate by clicking the purple "Give Now" button at the top of this page.

For questions about donating, please email Gwendalyn Carver at Gwendalyn.Carver@ucanchicago.org.
