On August 26th and 27th, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Niagara (BBBSN) hosted their first annual BIG Start shopping event at the Pen Centre.
BBBSN was able to support 50 children and youth involved in their programs with a back-to-school shopping spree.
The fun-filled 2-day shopping event allowed mentors and staff to take their mentees and waitlisted youth shopping with a $200 Pen Centre Gift Card, an Industria Pizzeria meal voucher, and then given a backpack full of school supplies.
In total, 250 backpacks were donated and filled with essential school supplies that will be further distributed to children, youth, and families involved in BBBSN programs.
