Building Block events are our way of joining together with our neighbors throughout Butler County to give back in a way that will build a solid foundation for the future. Each Building Block event is tailored to one of the building blocks for a good life: Community Relisence, Healthy Community, Financial Security/Basic Needs, or Youth Opportunity.
Our ' Shine Bright Box' event will be held on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, where we will assemble mental health awareness kits to help children struggling with mental health and/or substance abuse, good, fun, safe coping mechanisms for Envision Partnership. We invite you to join us by volunteering to build the kits at Butler County United Way.
