We are all familar with the regular phone call from a friendly personal from Big Brothers asking if we have clothing to donate. But do you really know how that clothing helps kids get Big Brothers?
Contrary to popular belief, the clothing does not actually directly go to the families in our programs. Rather, the same families benefit from the sale of your clothing, the proceeds from which allows Big Brothers' staff to recruit, screen and train volunteers and monitor matches for success, advice and safety. You rid yourself of unwanted clothing and kids get mentors!
Still, there is a way to make your clothing donation help even more. By just calling us at 604.526.2447 or booking your pick-up online, you save Big Brothers dollars that would be spent on expensive calling systems and scheduling. With just a few clicks of your mouse or by just picking up the phone, you allow us to raise even more dollars be directed towards our mentoring programs for children.
