The annual Placer County 4-H Still Exhibit Day was held on January 30, 2016 and BrickDreams was there. 4-Hers from across Placer County gathered project entries to be judged before the fair season. There were community projects alongside BrickDreams including Valentines for Veterans. BrickDreams was honored to be part of a day of service to our community.

Local 4-H Club Kicks-Off 2016 With Community Service Work
The Eureka Granite Bay 4-H Club held their first community service event of 2016. Eighteen members, friends and family sorted bricks and provided quality control on several cans of tennis balls. In the end, they completed 5 cases of cans. A wonderful effort of 60 lbs of LEGO! Their effort will go to some deserving kids.
Thank you Babcock Family for Your Donation
Look what we found at the Post Office! Thank you Babcock family of Warriors Mark, PA for your generous donation of so many beautifully packed LEGOs. We love to get sets that appeal to girls. We are still surprised when we see such a huge box addressed to BrickDreams. We can’t wait to get them into the hands of deserving kids.

Make A Difference Day 2015
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who supported BrickDreams during the 2015 Make a Difference Day. We had volunteers from the general public, 4-H, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We even had a volunteer who drove from Concord, CA to volunteer. Thank you Beckie! Together, 9 cases of LEGOs were sorted and are now ready to get into the hands of the kids. We couldn’t do it without you.
