Let Go of Your Legos?
Donate your Legos to Mathews
Are you sorting through toys and finding a collection of legos that your children no longer play with?
We are in need of Legos at Mathews and would appreciate any donations that you could make.
The Legos do not have to be complete sets and are just fine in a zip-lock bag if the box may have disappeared.
We appreciate your generosity for any donations you can provide.
Please drop off donations to Mr. Steele or Mrs. Powell in the front office.
