Think Big Foundation rebrands and launches new donation bins to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks

The Think Big Foundation is excited to announce a fresh new look for its clothing and shoe donation bins, which directly benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks. Historically known for their distinctive purple bins, the foundation is introducing white bins with updated foundation branding. The new bins feature the foundation’s refreshed logo in green, black, and white and display photos of mentorship matches, emphasizing the foundation's mission to defend the potential of every child in the Ozarks. By rolling out these new designs, Think Big aims to enhance visibility and ensure donors feel confident their contributions are directly supporting local life-changing mentoring programs.

This initiative was made possible in part by a grant from Solid Waste Management District O, enabling the purchase of 12 new white bins, which are already in place across south Springfield, Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Rogersville and Strafford. While the transition to white bins is underway, the familiar purple bins will remain in service to continue collecting donations until additional grants or contributions make it possible to fully convert to the new design. Think Big is committed to completing this transition as quickly as possible.

“We’re thrilled about this exciting update,” said Leslie Birdwell, Executive Director of the Think Big Foundation.  “These new bins make it easier for our community to know their donations support mentoring relationships right here in the Ozarks.”

The Think Big Foundation invites everyone to continue donating gently used clothing and shoes to help sustain the vital work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks. Together, we can create brighter futures and empower the potential in every child.
