Bigs in Blue

5/26/2017 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Roanoke, Montgomery & Pulaski Counties are proud sponsors of the Bigs in Blue program with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The Bigs in Blue program is built on the belief that trust and understanding in a community are developed one relationship at a time.  A police officer who volunteers to be part of Bigs in Blue will be matched with a child facing adversity in the community.  Many children in our area see law enforcement officers solely as authority figures, not as regular people in our communities.  Bigs in Blue will not only enable youth to bond with caring, supportive officers, but will also enable officers to get to know the community they serve.  Win-Win for all!

The local goal is to match 30 children with law enforcement officers across Southwest Virginia in 2017.  All officers in the police departments, fire departments, sheriff's office and emergency response agencies are invited to make a difference in a child's life by becoming a Big.
