Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona Reviews

I think this organization is fantastic and I am bothered by the uncaring humans who have chastised BBBS for donations on this site. Really? I am a Big Sister with them and I may be biased but everyone with this organization is friendly, helpful, happy, a delight to interact with and they do a phenomenal job!! I recently did get a call from them for clothing donations and the woman on the phone was so polite and friendly. If someone has a problem with phone solicitation, either don't answer a number you do not recognize or just be polite and say no and hang up. I am not sure when the world turned into everything being "about me" type attitude but it is very sad for those individuals who don't realize the power that BBBS has on the children it has in it's care and the huge impact it has on everyone involved. Please don't tarnish this organization for silly reasons!

Love this place . All the support they give not only to the children they help but they keep the families in the loop and help them as well.

These people get your number on their robocall list and harass you unmercifully. I get several calls A DAY from the Big Brothers Big Sisters phone solicitors. Requests to their office that they take your name off their robocall list result in nothing.

Please don't donate to an outfit that makes harassing people part of their business plan.

Don t waste your time volunteering. They say they want volunteers. They ll put you through the entire process. But then they may just say no without any explanation. They re disingenuous.

Have previously made donations so am called frequently for new donations.
Their pick up service is lousy. Last time they left a perfectly good working vacuum cleaner. This time I left out 10 boxes and bags on the drive way all day and I had to take them all back into the house at the end of the day because they did not pick up. Never again.

Good people to deal with their donation pickup drivers are very polite

My grandma gives stuff to this place all the time. This time I happened to be there. I felt unsafe with whoever they sent to pick up. The guy was rude and angry with my grandma as she nicely asked him for her containers back since he had so far ignored the note she left. I had to stand there and watch the jerk too make sure he was competent enough to nicely follow directions. Won't be using this service again.

Great organization doing great work. Helping kids find a mentor and a friend.

I wish no stars, which I have never done to a place that was highly recommended by a neighbor of mine and good friend, denying child who would benefit greatly. My child wanted to be in the program. I was told very rarely by Zara that kids weren't accepted. I told I had a good chance. I did every possible way to communicate with them. I was direct, open and honest. In the end it was a stab in the heart to know that they wont help struggling single parent families and those trying to help their kids. It was hard enough to get in touch with them in the beginning.

This place is rude and harassing, all they do is call you begging for donations and even when you say no they still send a guy to your house! I had this poor guy come to my house twice even though I said I wasn't donating anything. They waste your time and theirs because of their greed and stupidity.

My son was on the waiting list for about 2.5 years. But he has been matched w some bigs, a married couple who are amazing! The ppl who organize everything are friendly and very detailed and precise! My sons bigs have been very well fit and we love having them be a part of our extended family! Thank you BBBS!

Pick man stole my purse and my keys when he picked up our donation.

I am very disappointed with this organization. They came to pick up stuff and I labeled what they could take, and they took EVERYTHING from my carport! They haven't even returned my things that weren't weren't for donation.

This organization is something I can't put into words. What they have done for my son Jaxon is the most amazing gift his big brother is like perfect in a human form impressed doesn't come close to how we feel. BBBS I'm forever in debted to you for the joy my son has now every time he gets together with his BB John the match process must be a miracle machine because he's great with Jaxon positive and encouraging. So grateful Blessed and over joyed to be apart of Az BBBS program Thank you BBBS

This organization is awesome doing awesome work. Its not an easy task working to find kids the "perfect" match but they work hard to help those kids who need mentors and positive influences in their life. They have been a true treasure for my grandson. :-)

The staff is super friendly and really helpful however it can be a bit difficult to locate the facility.

I became a big brother.
Highly recommended.

Everyone all the way through the process has been nothing but supportive. I got matched with an awesome little brother and look forward to fun times ahead.
