Members of the Grand Bend community foundation were delighted to share in the Christmas spirit with the
BIG BUNCH group from Big Brothers Big Sisters South Huron. The kids were busy working on Christmas
crafts and decorations this week. The Grand Bend Community Foundation is providing a grant of $5000.00
this year in support of the activities and programs offered to the BIG BUNCH group. The funding will allow the
BIG BUNCH group to get together twice monthly and to purchase necessary supplies for crafting, physical
activities/sporting/gaming equipment, purchasing admissions and rentals for special planned activities,
The BIG BUNCH program is geared towards children on the Big Brother, Big Sister, waiting list, but is also
opened up to any child where a group program may bo more appropriate to meet their needs, as well as open
to all children who are currently matched and may wish to attend with their Big(s).
