IT TAKES LITTLE TO BE BIG.
In the time it takes to enjoy a slice or two, you can make a difference.

We continue to learn that "Everyone has a story," and each life impacted by our work is one that can make a positive difference for our community. There is story after story from our Bigs, Littles, young adults, and families that remind us that everything we do matters.
Match Support Specialist Connie Venable received an email from longtime Big Brother Rob Maly. The subject line was “Grateful…….
….For you and the rest of BBBS organization for bringing my Little Brother Chaz into my life. Never would have thought I would have so much joy in watching him grow up, get a job, earning his CDL, become fun Uncle Chaz to my boy, buy a house, be a role model his sisters so desperately need. It's been over 15 years since you've hooked us up and look how far we've gone! (Sunrise on summit of Mt Ellinor, Washington)”
Rob and his Little Brother Chaz were matched in 2007 when Chaz was 12-years-old. Chaz was living with a single mom and 5 sisters and he was desperate for some male bonding. Rob was the perfect fit. Over the course of their match they built a lasting relationship. The match closed in 2014 when Chaz graduated high school, but that certainly wasn’t the end of their relationship. Rob says Chaz comes to his house for dinner every Sunday, and they are family.
