Big Brothers Big Sisters to Hold 'Holiday for Kids' Sake' Program

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island (BBBSLI) will once again conduct its very popular Holiday For Kids’ Sake (HFKS) program this season. 

Last year through community donations, the program provided gifts and meals to over 100 families and more than 200 children supported by the agency.

“We have many families in our program who are unable to provide for their children during the holiday season,” said Chris Cosentino, BBBSLI Director of Marketing & PR. “The Holiday For Kids’ Sake program helps us bring some holiday magic to the 100-plus families that we serve across Long Island.”

The Levittown-based BBBSLI was incorporated in 1977 and makes "meaningful, professionally supported matches between adult volunteers (‘Bigs’) and children (‘Littles’). Our mission is to promote the positive growth and development of Long Island’s children by providing quality mentoring, education and support services."
