Little Change for BIG Change

Help support over 600 children and youth in our community!

It’s that time of year again! The ‘Little Change for BIG Change’ (LCBC) campaign runs for the months of July & August and we’re so excited for another amazing year! Our ‘Little Change for BIG Change’ Campaign strives to raise awareness about BBBSG in the community and the need for ‘Bigs’ to volunteer with our mentorship programs. This campaign strives to collect little change from local community members that will help fund BIG change allowing our mentorship programs to continue to thrive!
