Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) is proud to run its annual Holiday for Kids’ Sake toy and gift card drive, in support of over 550 children across Long Island. 

“I am once again blown away by the generosity and support of our donors.  Individuals and companies stepped up in a major way to help us sponsor and shop for over 550 children in need this holiday season.  I have watched this program grow each year, and I am forever grateful to be part of such a special initiative. “Said Chief Development and Marketing Officer, Meredith Michaels.

For over 20 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island has held this unique holiday giving program, which allows every child in its program, along with all their siblings to submit wish lists during the holidays.  Sponsors sign up to shop for those children, ensuring every wish is met! Going above and beyond to engage friends, colleagues, and neighbors to also join in.  We have partners across Long Island, who help us sponsor over 550 children and help to make their holiday season extra special. 

On Sunday, December 17^th, volunteer drivers will arrive at the BBBSLI Nassau headquarters, to pick up red sacks filled to the brim with gifts and deliver them straight to the homes of our families.   We look forward to another magical giving season.
