About BCSS

Incorporated in 2002, Big Changes Start Small, Inc.® (BCSS) is a 501-c-3 tax-exempt not for profit charitable corporation that believes in its name. Our mission is to help strengthen community through the development of volunteer-based service projects. BCSS projects bring together diverse people in the spirit of building interpersonal bridges, developing altruism, and making a positive difference.

At this time, BCSS sponsors two main service projects. It’s Spooky To Be Hungry®” is an annual food and monetary drive that takes place each October. Proceeds are donated to local food banks. “Hope Soap” is a clearinghouse for the collection and distribution of personal care items and toiletries. Distribution to recipients is done largely through local social service agencies. Through BCSS, supporters are able to tax-deduct their charitable donations to the It’s Spooky To Be Hungry and Hope Soap projects.
