Morris Plains Co-op Play School Teaches a Lesson on Giving Back

The Morris Plains Co-op Play School is teaching more than just the ABCs to their preschool students. As a local, non-profit organization, The Co-op is focused on teaching about community and the power of giving back. Back in March, they held a Spring Supply Drive to benefit Homeless Solutions. Co-op families, alumnae, and neighbors donated much needed supplies to this private, non-profit organization that has been helping the homeless and working poor in Morris County since 1983. Homeless Solutions offers shelter, services, and supportive housing to those in need, helping the individuals and families they service to rebuild their lives and become self-sufficient.

Morris Plains Co-op’s newest collection drive is for LEGO Replay and they are encouraging the community's help. The Co-op will be collecting used LEGO bricks of all sizes (they do NOT need to be full sets but do request that they are only LEGO brand products) which will then be sent to the LEGO Replay program. LEGO Replay will clean, sort, and distribute the bricks to child-focused organizations like Teach for America and the Boys & Girls Club. A collection basket will be on the Co-op’s front porch from April 22nd through the end of May. Please help the Co-op give the gift of play to children in need. Morris Plains Co-op is located at 8 Cleveland Avenue.
