Big Brothers Big Sisters

This year we are collecting crafting/scrapbooking supplies to donate to the local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter. Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation's largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers ("Bigs") and children ("Littles"), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country.

This is a great opportunity to support a wonderful cause. Please bring any crafting/scrapbooking supplies that you might have extras of, no longer use, or just wish to donate. These products will be used by Bigs and Littles for crafting or as a means to document their time together. There will be a box located at the CKC Information Desk where you can drop off your donations.

Thank you so much for your support!
