A new Giving Campaign Starts - 1 June to 31 December 2022 - Brick Dreams

If you’ve followed Bricks for Bricks for a while or have spent some time on our site, you’ll see that we had campaigns for Brick Dreams in 2017 and 2018. Well after a few years, I looked and they are still at their awesome work. So why not send some bricks their way so they can use them to help others?

In case you didn’t click the link above, Brick Dreams was founded in 2012 with a goal of collecting used bricks and giving them to kids in need. They made kits for kids in foster homes and those who get moved around by Child Protective Services a lot. They are still doing it today.

From 1 June 2022 until 31 December 2022, 15% of the profits from sales at Bricks for Bricks will go towards Brick Dreams. Instead of sending them three boxes of new Bricks, let’s see if we can send them 30 or 50 or 100…

By the way, you can support them directly too if you want. Go to their site here to see how you can give bricks or cash to support their efforts.

Thank you for support! Happy building!

Thanks for Supporting Brick Dreams!

From 1 January 2018 to 31 May 2018 we gave 15% of our profits to Brick Dreams.  That worked out to be $130.  We bought 2 large LEGO Classic large creative brick boxes (#10698) and 1 LEGO Classic medium creative brick box (#10696) for them.  We hope they can use those bricks for a lot of great kids who like to build.  You can find out more about them at: http://www.brickdreams.org.

Thanks for supporting and happy building!

Campaign Announcement - 1 January to 31 May 2018 = Brick Dreams

We were able to donate $170 worth of LEGO bricks to Brick Dreams for our campaign held during the second half of 2017.  Brick Dreams posted a thank you post on their site that you can view here.  They have a large demand for bricks and have asked us to run another campaign for them.  So we are happy to announce that 15% of the profits we earn from the start of 2018 through the end of May 2018 will go to Brick Dreams.

So thanks to everyone who supported our store in 2017 and we are looking forward to another great campaign in 2018.

Site update - 5 Aug 2017

Sorry it's been a while since an update.  Between changes at work and home along with filling BrickLink orders, I haven't had a chance to post anything in a while.  

I have received set 21309, the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V, and plan to do a review.  I will post it soon.  

As for progress towards supporting Brick Dreams, we're at just under $70.  Thank you all for your support of this great cause.

I've received a bunch of Batman Movie and Series 17 Collectible Minifigures that I'll be adding to the store soon.  I haven't ordered any of the Ninjago movie minifigs yet, but intend to soon.  

Thanks for following and happy building!

Campaign to Support Brick Dreams - 1 June to 31 December 2017

If you've never heard of Bricks for Bricks before (we're small... it's okay if you haven't), we are a for-profit business focused on giving back a portion of our profits to those in need.  We focus our efforts on education and/or children whenever possible.  You can see some of our past campaigns here.  Now that we just finished our move from Florida to Alabama, it's time to kick off another campaign to help those in need.  

From 1 June 2017 to 31 December 2017, 15% of our profits will go to Brick Dreams.  Brick Dreams was started in 2012 by a high school student in California.  The goal is to give Lego bricks to kids who are victims of domestic violence.  The group gives these kids tennis ball cans full of bricks.  Knowing that these kids often have to move around a lot, the container holds a lot of bricks and has a top so it is easy to move around with it.  The founder is off in college now, but he's handed it off to 2 boys who are both 12.  You can check out their site to see some of the things they've done and what they are up to now.

Bricks for Bricks will use 15% of our profits to send some bricks to Brick Dreams.  Thanks for your support!
