One Brick

Cool things I have come into as a consequence of volunteering with One Brick these past few months:

• $50 gift card for Williams-Sonoma at the Elks Lodge Blood Drive
• My new job, after a tip from a One Brick volunteer coordinator
• This past weekend, a hand-me-down laptop that I can soon re-gift

Or, as Saint Francis put it: “it is in giving that we receive.”

If you are looking for fulfilling ways to spend your free time, I heartily recommend One Brick, which is very simply an organization that organizes volunteer opportunities: just sign up for their e-mail list and every week you’ll be informed of cool opportunities to get out, do some good, and make friends.

I am looking forward to working the Elks Club Card Night next month, so much that I posted the event to Yelp to see about getting more folks over there.
