If this were a regular holiday season, Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami would be preparing for a huge Christmas Day gift distribution event. Children, or littles, as the organization calls them, would be tearing the wrapping paper off their gifts and showing off their toys while their families and mentors, or bigs, looked on.
This may not be a regular holiday season, but the organization still plans to provide gifts to more than 1,000 children.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is asking the community to donate unwrapped gifts action figures and dolls for children ages 5 to 8, Legos and arts & crafts supplies for 8- to 11-year-olds, and sporting goods, makeup kits, purses, wallets, and jewelry for teenagers.
