Every year, we partner with generous individuals like you to make the season brighter for families in need across our community. Your support plays a critical role in ensuring that children and their families experience the joy and warmth of the holidays, regardless of their financial circumstances. By participating in our Adopt A Family program, you can help provide essential items, holiday meals, and gifts that will create lasting memories for families who might otherwise go without. How You Can Help: We invite you to be a part of this heartwarming initiative by volunteering and signing up to adopt a family. It’s simple! Just fill out the form to donate here. Whether you contribute individually, as a group, or with your organization, your kindness will make a significant impact. Spread the Word: We also encourage you to share this opportunity with your friends, family, and coworkers. The more people involved, the more families we can help during this special time of year. Thank you for your continued generosity and support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Michigan. Together, we are making this holiday season Bigger Together for our families!

If you are looking for a way to be a part of our Adopt a Family on a smaller level an individual donation can be made. There are several ways you can make this donation. Gift Card Donations-Many families will benefit from gift cards to buy food, toys, gas, and household items of their own. The most useful gift cards are from Kroger, Walmart, Meijer, Target, Speedway, etc. Item Donations- This option is for NEW non perishable food items, winter clothes, and donations of toys and games for families and kids. These items don’t need to be wrapped, and don’t need to be for a specific family. We will distribute these items to families in need! Cash Donations- Monetary donations are always welcome. BBBS will use the donations to "fill in the gaps" for any family that may be lacking needed items from their wish lists that were not provided by the donor, or to buy more gifts and household items to be able to support more families. Donations are also used for "emergency" wish lists for families that are suddenly facing hardships during the Holiday Season. This can be through an online donation by clicking here, cash, or check.

You can donate a basket or multiple baskets of practical household items, such as cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, dish soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, etc., that we will deliver to our families. These are items that many families often go without during the Holiday Season. We suggest and encourage that items are donated in a sturdy laundry basket for easier and safer delivery. These gifts aren’t specific to a family, they will be general donations distributed to several families. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us, or if you are ready to sign up you can sign up here https://form.jotform.com/242635561897166 or email at AAF@bbbssoutheastMI.org
