Since 2012 · Carmel, Indiana
Turn LEGO into hope for kids in the hospital.
Families, churches, schools and teams have helped the Christmas LEGO Drive serve children since 2012. Annual children-served counts total 7,292 through 2025; this is not a count of unique children. There are three ways to join in.
Host a service event
Bring a hands-on LEGO project to your team, church or school. We bring the bricks and run the whole thing. Your group builds sets for kids.
Donate your LEGO
New sets or a bin of used bricks. Drop off in Carmel, schedule a pickup around Indy, or ship from anywhere.
Give money
Every gift buys brand-new sets for kids in the hospital. Give by card, Venmo, PayPal or check.
Our story
It started in the LEGO aisle at Target.
In 2012, Ben Glenn, the Chalkguy, took his daughters Christmas shopping and let each of them pick a set they really wanted. Then he told them they were going to wrap it and give it away. There were tears. Then something clicked.
“Giving means giving something you love.”
The drive served 2 children in 2012 and 10 in 2013. Annual counts total 7,292 through 2025; children may be counted in more than one year.
Service events
Service that builds something lasting.
We handle the planning, the bricks and the delivery. Your group builds, laughs and serves together, and what you make goes straight to kids in local hospitals.
