BBI Celebrates 12th Annual Holiday Drive Showcasing Community Spirit and Joy

In the spirit of giving, BBI proudly marks the success of its 12th Annual Holiday Drive. For more than a decade, this cherished holiday tradition has brought joy to children and families across the country, reminding us that when we come together, our impact is boundless.

From November 25 to December 4, our offices nationwide united to collect toys, coats, and essential items, supporting nonprofits and community organizations dedicated to serving those in need. This year’s initiatives touched lives through partnerships with groups such as Sheridan House, SafeHouse of Seminole County, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana, Connecting a Caring Community, National Charity League, Assistance League, Hope Helps, and Billy the Kidden Rescue.

Our teams went above and beyond—gathering toys for children ages 1 to 12, sponsoring families, assembling care boxes for nursing home residents, and donating coats, blankets, and supplies to keep communities warm and supported during the winter season. Each donation added to a collective effort that brought compassion and comfort to those in need.

Together, we’ve shown how generosity can brighten countless lives. As we continue building holiday traditions, here’s a look at the contributions by office:

Lake Mary, FL office – Collected around 170 toys for SafeHouse of Seminole County, a local nonprofit that provides shelter, counseling, and support services for survivors of domestic violence and their children.
