A garage of stuff that you need to organize? Bring your items to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our agency has kicked off a holiday donation drive and is collecting items now through Dec. 23, 2016.

Stop by our office or schedule a home pick-up at www.SoCalBigsDonate.org. With your help, we can better serve our community. Here’s four reasons why you should donate today:[/fwp-anim-text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1476913325890{background-color: #a5a5a5 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_text_separator title=”1. Make a Difference” title_align=”separator_align_center” align=”align_center” color=”grey”][fwp-anim-text animated=”true” animation=”enter right move 10px over 1s after”]

There are 200 kids on the wait list who are ready for a mentor right now. Donations collected by Big Brothers Big Sisters help fund our programs and support our mission of providing a mentor to every child who wants and needs one. Even one bag will make a big difference.

Only 15 percent of used clothing is recycled and the rest—about 10.5 million tons a year—goes into landfills. Do your part by donating instead of throwing away.
