About the Organization
Founded in January 2003, Building Blocks has given assistance to more than 650 individual children who, once in our system, are fondly referred to as BB4K kids. Some of our BB4K kids have needed help with multiple needs and may apply for assistance once per calendar year.
Building Blocks for Kids envisions a community where the needs of children with physical, emotional and developmental challenges are being met. Our mission is to bridge the funding gap for products and services that help improve the quality of life for these children.
