Around the world, Legos are a favorite toy with a fanatical following. In Rockland County, they're also a building block for adults with autism and other developmental challenges. AielloTV went to a new Lego resale store that's making a difference.
Jawonio is counting on community donations to help supply the store. If you've got a bin of Lego bricks in the basement, you can donate them at locations in New City and Yonkers.Young shoppers will interact with the special needs workers and perhaps leave with a better appreciation of Buccellato and his coworkers.
"They're people like everybody else. They're capable of working, they contribute to our society, and they need to be valued," Jawonio CEO Randi Rios-Castro said. The Lego resale store officially opens next week. A $300,000 grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation helped make the project possible.
