Continued Commitment to Hope

During this unprecedented time, Building Blocks for Kids remains committed to our community and the families that we serve. While our staff and board are working and meeting remotely, we continue to provide support and resources to our local families of children with disabilities.
We are committed to our mission and will continue to provide HOPE to these families.
