The nonprofit organization EveryStep is seeking donations to help replace items needed for its Grief and Loss Support Service Cheer Box program after items were taken during a burglary at an Urbandale warehouse this week. According to a news release, the burglary occurred overnight Monday. The warehouse was being used by volunteers to box and wrap the Cheer Boxes, which are scheduled to be picked up Friday for delivery. EveryStep plans to deliver 660 Cheer boxes this holiday season. Each box contains 12 family-friendly gifts that go to families and individuals who have lost a loved one. In addition to the items intended for the Cheer Boxes, two EveryStep cars were stolen. The Urbandale police are investigating. Besides its Grief and Loss Support programs, EveryStep offers hospice services, community health and wellness programs, interpretation and translation, home care, and medical and social services for individuals and families statewide.
