As we dive into the New Year, many of us are setting resolutions to better ourselves and uplift those around us. Fortunately, Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver (BBGV) is making it easier than ever to achieve both.
With their no-cost home pickup service and convenient donation bins across the region, you can clear out the clutter from your home and contribute to a legacy of impactful mentorship programs at the same time.
And it won’t cost you a thing.
Declutter your space, enrich a life
At the heart of Big Brothers is a mission to empower children and youth across Vancouver through impactful one-to-one and group mentoring programs. These relationships help build confidence, teach life skills and lay the foundation for brighter futures.
Of course, not everyone can spare time or money to support a cause and BBGV gets that. That’s why they offer an effortless way to give back—by turning your gently used clothing, books and household goods into powerful tools for change. Every item you donate to BBGV will fund vital youth mentorship programs, helping local kids and teens gain confidence, develop life skills and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
The best part? You don’t even need to step outside to make an impact. With BBGV’s free home pickup service, you can clear out those overflowing closets or that pesky junk drawer in one simple step. Whether you're downsizing, tackling a post-holiday decluttering spree or just streamlining your space, their team will come directly to your door and pick up your donations.
Of course, if you prefer to get out and about, BBGV also has public donation bins conveniently located across Vancouver. You can find the bin nearest to you HERE.
The power of young donors
While BBGV’s programs focus on benefiting children and teens, they’re powered by a diverse community of donors—and young donors in particular play a pivotal role. Adults over the age of 18 are essential to the ongoing success of the Big Brothers (and Big Sisters) programs as they understand the importance of community, sustainability and giving back.
Unlike for-profit donation services, BBGV channels 100% of its efforts into uplifting local children and families. With a decades-long legacy and countless success stories, they make sure every donation counts. If you have the capacity to go beyond donating items, consider becoming a Big Brother or mentor in one of BBGV’s sports or education programs, hosting a clothing drive or choosing Big Brothers as your charity for your next fundraiser. There are plenty of ways to give or get involved.
Resolutions worth keeping
Decluttering your home and helping kids thrive, it’s a win-win! Remember, every BBGV donation helps fund mentorship programs that create lasting positive change in our community. By donating, you’re not just giving new life to your pre-loved items—you’re also keeping them out of landfills and supporting local kids in their journey toward success.
