Hi Everyone! We had some hard workers today in preparation for this year's Big Book Sale ! If you planned to volunteer tonight and help us sort books; we are ALL OUT! 🤯
Thank you for giving your time, but another evening or day may be best. 🫶

That also means, WE ARE ALL OUT OF BOOKS TO SORT! So if you’re home tonight on this gross, rainy evening, consider going through your books for donations. 😊

We will still be open this evening to collect books from 5PM-8PM at 20 Alma St, SolveYourDebts.com.

Thanks so much,

🧡 On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

Today is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and honour the Indigenous communities that have shaped our country and continue to strengthen it every day.

Together, we can build a future rooted in respect, understanding, and reconciliation.

🧡

💙 Happy Father's Day! 💙

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who make a lasting impact in the lives of young people.

Your guidance, encouragement, and support help build confidence, resilience, and brighter futures. Thank you for being role models, listening ears, and champions for the next generation.

At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we know that positive relationships can change lives, and today we honour all those who help young people discover their potential.

Wishing all fathers and father figures a wonderful Father's Day filled with love, appreciation, and special moments with family.

💙 Happy Father's Day from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Saint John!

Irving, Limited, Anglophone South School District, and Forest Hills School for their ongoing partnership and commitment to empowering young people in our community. Together, we are creating opportunities, building confidence, and helping youth reach their full potential.

Thank you J.D. Irving, Limited and employees for their amazing support! Thank you to PALS - Partners Assisting Local Schools for their hard work in organizing this event!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, families, and most importantly the young people of Big Brothers Big Sisters, thank you for helping young people realize their potential.

The extraordinary commitment over the last number of years has helped provide mentoring relationships and opportunities for more than 5,000 young people throughout Saint John and Charlotte County.

That kind of impact lives on in every young person who gains confidence, feels supported, and discovers new possibilities because someone cared enough to invest in their future.

THANK YOU 💕
