There are only good ways to honor the memory of Nick, Nate, Noah and Luke Bucklin. Here’s another: Buy something cool for a kid you’ll probably never know, and know that your gift will make their holiday season better (yours, too). We’re collecting presents geared toward kids ages 12-14 in remembrance of Nick (14), Nate (14), Noah (12) and Luke (forever 40, going on about 14). Toys for Tots historically has fulfilled unmet needs for gifts for boys and girls in their early teens.

Donated gifts must be brand-new (no hand-me-downs, please), unopened (don’t break the seal), and definitely not gift-wrapped (so they can be re-gifted to an age/gender-appropriate recipient). Mitch and Sue Buckland, coordinators of our Toys for Tots campaign, have asked that donations be dropped off by end-of-day on Friday, December 16 – so, plenty of shopping days left.

You need not work at The Nerdery to donate – anyone’s welcome to give: friends of the Bucklin family, friends of The Nerdery, and do-gooders throughout our community who want to help kids have happier holidays just by leaving a little something under our tree.

Note: We’ve expanded our office space (again) and our lobby is literally moving later this week toward the middle of The Nerdery, still at 9555 James Avenue S., Suite 245, Bloomington, MN 55431. Look for the Toys for Tots sign in the window and the Christmas tree lights (blue for Bucklin).
