Big Family of Michigan is a nonprofit organization that supports and serves the needs of foster children, institutionalized children and grandchildren raised by their grandparents. Located inside The Nonprofit Center at Pare, they provide school supplies, "birthdays in a bag" and Christmas gifts to the kids in our communities. We were blessed with an abundance of toys and delivered a box of gifts today that will bring smiles to the children's faces this holiday season! Big Family of Michigan responded with a contribution of holiday candy for our wig recipients. This is a great example of how the nonprofit sector is focused on collaboration for the benefit of all!
