The Greenwch Sentinel’s LEGO drive is creating a massive pile of LEGO bricks the month to celebrate its first year of operations and benefit its new foundation, created to support local charities.
LEGO minifigures, bricks, hero factory pieces, bionicles, and more are being collected and will later be sorted, organized, and sanitized by young volunteers and interns this summer and then donated to local charities or offered to families for a tax-deductible contribution to the Greenwich Sentinel Foundation.
The Greenwich Sentinel Foundation will sponsor a staff member and two pages in the paper each week dedicated to spreading the word about charities in Greenwich and supporting their efforts to promote events, fundraising and volunteer drives, and other priorities that they identify. The Foundation will work closely with as many local charities as possible.
LEGO donations may be made at the Greenwich Sentinel, 28 Bruce Park Avenue between 9am and 3pm weekdays.
