PRESS RELEASE
The Adams County Community Foundation (ACCF) recently awarded Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) a grant for recruiting mentors in Adams County. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a community-based program that recruits, screens, and trains adult volunteers to mentor children who are experiencing difficulties such as living in poverty, being from single parent homes, having challenging or strained family relations, or children who have academic or behavioral problems.
