Community Outreach! ♥️

A day with BIG NIK is an exciting free community event in the heart of the inner city. Youth boys and girls enjoy a fun-filled day featuring thrilling basketball games, engaging arts and crafts activities for all ages, and a delicious free meal for everyone who attends. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with neighbors, make new friends, and celebrate community spirit in a safe and welcoming space.

During the holidays some families may struggle to provide meals in  their household. That's where BIG NIK comes in! We are a resource for families that may need assistance during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Back to School shopping, ect... We also provide meals and/or clothes during non-holiday months when families in need reach out. Giving back and being a resource in the community has been consistent for more than 20 years. We feel honored and blessed to serve. 

We started doing the "fence of giving" several years ago. The initiative was established to provide winter coats for the homeless and less fortunate. New and gently used coats are donated. They are put on hangers and hung downtown on a fence in a heavily populated homeless area. Those in need are able to walk up and pick a coat for themselves and their children if needed. Having a passion to give back to the community is the driving force behind BIG NIK! 

BIG NIK Cares is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community by spending quality time with youth, mentoring them and helping shape their futures. Through engaging programs focused on leadership, sportsmanship, and various extracurricular activities, BIG NIK inspires young people to believe in themselves and strive for success both on and off the court. Whether teaching valuable life skills, encouraging teamwork, or simply lending a listening ear, BIG NIK is committed to guiding the next generation toward brighter, more confident paths.
