Charlie Jeffers, a high school student in California, specializes in getting LEGO bricks into the hands of those who don't normally have access to them. Jeffers, who is a senior this year at Marin County's Redwood High School, is the founder of Pass the Bricks, a charity that has a goal of taking LEGO bricks, washing them and sorting them and creating new sets with them, and then getting those new sets to children who can't afford them or have no other way to buy them. And Pass the Bricks doesn't charge the recipients for the deliveries.

It's not all standard issue, either. Jeffers is plugged in to the kids scene, having been one himself very recently. One of his signature sets is the Droid Escape Pod, a down-to-the-colors recreation of the spaceship used by R2-D2 in the first few minutes of the very first Star Wars film.

Nowhere near the only person working on this, Jeffers has recruited nearly two dozen volunteers in three other states and the District of Columbia, and he's created a template for others to use so they can follow his example and then, if they want, create their own.

The LEGO-minded charity dates to 2020 and has partnerships with nearly a dozen nonprofits, including the Boys and Girls Club of America. Through all of that teamwork, Pass the Bricks has delivered more than 3,000 new sets of LEGO bricks to children around the world. And they're always on the lookout for more donated LEGO bricks.
