Thank you McNeil Family

A big box of beautifully organized LEGO arrived from today from the McNeil Family of Redwood City, CA.  Thank you so much for donating to our charity.  We were able to immediately use them!

Thank You Farrell Family

We’d like to extend our appreciation to the Farrell Family of Orland Park, IL.  They sent us a box filled with LEGO!  We’re happy to say we were able to quickly get your donation to into the hands of a local agency who in turn distributed them to deserving kids.

BrickDreams Highlighted on Placer County 4-H Blog

Several Placer County 4-H clubs have been so supportive of BrickDreams helping with several sorting events during the past months.   They produced many cans that were quickly distributed to local agencies and they are still volunteering.  Thank you Eureka Granite Bay, Gold County, Loomis Community and Ophir Clubs!

MDIC of Yolo County Connects BrickDreams to Partnerships

The Yolo County Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center (MDIC) continues to be a wonderful community partner to BrickDreams. Not only have they introduced BrickDreams to the Woodland Police Department, Sutter BEAR center and Child Welfare Services Yolo County, they have even offered to store the cans at their location.  Just this month, each of these four agencies (including MDIC) received another case for the children they serve.

Gold Country 4-H Volunteers Monthly to Support BrickDreams

Gold Country 4-H club Community Leader, Johnna Humber, inspired me (Lleyton) to get other 4-Hers involved in sorting events for BrickDreams. She believes in BrickDreams so much that Gold Country 4-H sorts LEGO every month at their 4-H Community Meeting.  That’s some community service! So far they have completed 59 cans in just 2 months and keep asking for more!  They do great, detailed work. Some of their members participated in Make a Difference Day with us and have become expert sorters at this point! Thank you Gold Country 4-H we appreciate what a great ambassador you are for BrickDreams.

Loomis 4-H joins other Placer County 4-H Clubs in Service

Thank you to the Loomis 4-H Club who responded to my invitation for other 4-h clubs to host a sorting activity at their monthly community meeting.  Community leader, Ellen Doerner, reported the youth had fun working on the sorting project. Many of them came to the monthly 4-H community meeting early, just so they could start before the meeting.  And boy did they work hard sorting 3 cases as an awesome team! They followed the instructions perfectly. Thank you Loomis 4-H. BrickDreams appreciates your community spirit!

Duplo Donations Sought by BrickDreams

In just one week, BrickDreams received three requests for a LEGO product called Duplo. Duplo is perfect for kids under the age of 5 because the building bricks are much bigger. Currently, we do not have any Duplo on hand. If you can help with these requests by donating your Duplo, we would greatly appreciate it. Donations can be sent to: BrickDreams, PO Box 891 Folsom, CA 95763
