Big Brothers Big Sisters announces new office location

Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region is pleased to announce the grand opening of their new administrative office in Delta Township. The new offices are located at 7200 W. Saginaw Highway, Suite 1, in the same building as Century 21 Looking Glass and Enterprise.

To celebrate the opening of their new offices, Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region is hosting a big Office Reveal on Thursday, March 26. The open house will run from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. with a ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. by the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. Light refreshments will be served.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Executive Director Rich Howard is very excited about the new office location, and the opportunity to serve more local youth. According to Howard, “This change in location will give us greater visibility within the community, as well as an opportunity to enhance program delivery. We are serving approximately 200 youth each year in the Capital Region, but there are so many more youth in the area who need mentors. We hope that having our administrative offices in a more accessible location will help bridge that gap.”

Anyone is welcome to attend the BIG Office Reveal, whether they’re a volunteer, supporter, or are just looking to learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters. No RSVP is required, and guests can drop in at their convenience between 12 noon and 4 p.m.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region serves youth in the counties of Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Ionia, and Shiawassee. For more information, please visit www.bbbsmcr.org.
