Celebrate the Holidays at Ikea!

BBBS is gearing up to 'man’ the Christmas Tree Lot at Ikea Burlington from late November until the treees are sold. This means we need volunteers from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day from November 25th to December 23rd.


We will be breaking up each day into shifts and we will accommodate any schedule. Volunteers will be responsible for verifying receipts (customers pay $20 inside, then bring receipt to the lot), giving out Ikea coupons (every tree purchaser receives a $20 Ikea coupon) and helping to pick out and load trees.


BBBS will receive $1 from every tree sold! This is a great volunteer opportunity for high school/college/university students (must be 16+ or accompanied by an adult), corporate/community groups or as a day of family fun! You will also receive unlimited hot chocolate and coffee.


Help us celebrate the holiday season and sign up today. Form more information please contact Tracey at tracey@callbigbrothers.com.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Celebrates a Job Well Done!

It was with great pleasure that Big Brothers Big Sisters celebrated its’ grand re-opening on Monday November 7th, 2011.

Over the past 18 months, with the help from the corporate and community supporters listed below, the agency has been able to make much needed building improvements inside and out. The building, located at 639 Main Street East in Hamilton houses administrative and recreational space for mentoring programs and the community. A dedication plaque was unveiled during the event which reads “This building is dedicated to all who believe in the value and values of mentoring. Bigs and Littles, volunteers and donors – past, present and future, this building salutes you.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hamilton and Burlington would like to thank the following supports who have contributed financially to make the building renovation possible:
