DreamBuilders’ Leadership team and volunteers anticipated building 120 portable desks for students in the community on September 26 and October 3rd and exceeded their desired goal.

These desks will be provided to students in need in the local area to enable them to have dedicated work spaces during this time of virtual learning. In August, 100 desks were distributed and the need increased as the mandate to personally attend public schools has been extended.

A very special “thank you” to all the organization and individuals that provided materials, food, music and labor to help us accomplish this major build event.

DreamBuilders finalizing the building of 120 portable desks tomorrow

The second organized portable desk build event will be completed tomorrow with a target of 120 portable desks for students in the community.

The first group of students that received the desks have enjoyed having their own dedicated workspace and are very thankful that the DreamBuilders’ Leadership Team and Volunteers took the time to help them in their educational endeavors.

The desks will be finished and distributed within the next few weeks.

Thanks to all the volunteers that graciously gave up their weekends to help and support the next generation of leaders!

Good Morning America Giving Students a Safe Place to Learn 8/13/2020

DreamBuilders

Throughout this pandemic, our community has come together in creative ways to help one another. DreamBuilders, an interfaith non-profit, usually builds and repairs homes after natural disasters, but COVID-19 has changed how they give back. Some of our students don’t have dedicated workspaces in their homes where they can study and learn virtually without distractions. Dreambuilders has responded by building small, foldable desks that allow students to open up the desk, work in an area and then close it up and store.This weekend, 50 volunteers are working to make 120 desks for Howard County students and they will continue to build desks to meet the demand for these innovative workspaces. Thank you to the leadership team and all the volunteers who help serve our students in need across the County. To learn more about DreamBuilders and how can get involved, please visit https://dreambuildersmd.org/
