February 2021
A word from our director:

As we enter the second month of a new year, we are grateful and filled with hope. Thank you to all new mentors who joined us in January during National Mentoring Month. Matches that are meeting in person, we ask that you continue to practice social distancing and wear masks while meeting with each other. Additionally, a reminder that if you are sick or a member of your family is sick, please do not meet in person that week. Our staff continue to create new matches and are available to provide support.

Please contact me at cgage@bbbsmitten.org or 989-429-6189 if you have any questions or concerns.
