Big and Mini Featured Pair!

Coming soon, Big & Mini will be choosing Big and Mini featured pairs! This will be a chance for members to get to know each other’s stories, express themselves, and further develop the Big & Mini community! Once chosen, the pairs will be interviewed by the Big & Mini team about their experiences in Big & Mini, quarantine, and life in general! Email us at contact@bigandmini.org if you’d like to be featured on the website!

Group Activities:

On June 2nd, the Big & Mini virtually visited the retirement home of Village On The Park Onion Creek and helped brighten the day of the residents there! On June 9th, we have another virtual visit planned! Should be a lot of fun!
