WHAT IS HOLLIS BRICKWORKS?

During the summer of 2018, we introduced BrickWorks to the Hollis community. Partnering with the THE GIVING BRICK, a Kansas City based non-profit that collects used LEGO bricks, repackages sets, and gives them children served by CASA of Jackson County. Through out the summer families joined us at Hollis to experience the joy of working together as a community to serve others. During our BrickWorks service hours, we sort through donated LEGO bricks and break apart already assembled LEGO pieces. Because the events were met with such enthusiasm, we are continuing the program and will be introducing more BrickWorks dates throughout the year.

All attendees are welcome to bring sack lunches, and explore the trails & hills of Hollis, play a game of GAGA ball, or sand volleyball before or after the service event (weather permitting)..

WHO CAN ATTEND? IS THERE A FEE?

This is a FREE kid-friendly, as well as a kid-at-heart event. All ages are welcome. This includes preschool kiddos! Parents, please plan on staying with kids ages 10 & under.

WHAT SHOULD WE BRING?

You are welcome to come early or stay after to enjoy a picnic or hike the trails. If you plan on hiking the hills, we do recommend bringing bug spray, and dressing for the weather!
