Every Christmas since 2011
The Chalkguy Christmas LEGO Drive
What started with Ben Glenn, the Chalkguy, and his daughters giving away two LEGO sets has become a Christmas tradition. Families, schools, churches and businesses collect LEGO every year so kids spending the holidays in the hospital get something new to build.
Only the best will do!
Drive by drive
Every Christmas, hundreds of kids.
Here’s how many kids got a new LEGO set from the drive each Christmas.

Host your own drive
Run a drive at your school, church or office.
Anyone can host. It’s a simple way to get your group giving together this Christmas.
1. Sign up
Tell us who you are and where you’ll collect. We’ll send you a donation box sign and the details.
2. Collect LEGO
Set out a box at your school, church, office or neighborhood and invite people to give new sets and used LEGO.
3. Bring it to us
Drop it off at Mercy Road Church in Carmel, or ship it if you’re out of town. We deliver the sets to kids in the hospital.
What to collect
New, unopened LEGO sets go straight to kids in the hospital. Used LEGO is welcome too: we sort and rebuild it for the ReBuild Shop, and every sale buys more new sets. LEGO brand only, please.
