Program Demographics and Activity
July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006
In Fiscal Year 2006, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire County provided services to
228 children in Hampshire County, matching 200 of them. This represents a 20% increase in services over the previous year. The increase in number of children served reflects a new
3-year grant from the Federal Department of Education to match new children from Amherst, Ware, Northampton, and Easthampton.
