Busy Little Bees is a Proud Supporter of Zoe's Peace Packs!
We are so proud to announce our sponsorship of Zoe's mission where we donated $750 worth of materials to Zoe's Peace Packs. We were lucky enough to meet and talk with Zoe to learn about her mission and about all the good she has done and is set out to do. The "And More" part of our name is dedicated to helping people in our community like Zoe, spread love and kindness to others, especially our youth.
A little about Zoe's Peace Packs: Zoe is 9 years old and continues to navigate through life with ADHD and anxiety. She is using her tips and tricks of what she has learned and how certain told have worked her to spread her awareness and kindness by packing essentials in a kit called Zoe's Peace Packs. She has made 100 packs and delivered them to every Bayonne Grammar school, specifically to guidance counselors to hand out as needed to their students. Zoe has also made 35 calming bags for students in the Jersey City school system.
Zoe's Peace Packs are not for profit, but rather for peace and 100% of the donations go towards purchasing the supplies to make more peace packs. If you would like to order a free peace pack from Zoe, please email her at ZoesPeacePacks@hotmail.com
If you are in a position to donate, please do so by purchasing an item on her wish list: Amazon.com
Our bees love the roses at Bloomtastic Creations!
Thank you to the amazing owner and staff at Bloomtastic Creations for helping us secure our roses for the Love Monster Love Grams we gave out on Valentine's Day. It is always our mission to support locally in Bayonne and we look forward to lots of future community partnerships with them!
Lowes Community Partnership
We are so thankful for our community partners at Lowes, who were generous enough to donate hard hats to all eight of our classrooms. The students were so excited and had a blast in the Block Area being construction workers. Thank you, Lowe's, for making a difference! We can't wait for what the future holds and how magical community partnerships can be.
Busy Little Bees Supports Families in Need this Holiday Season!
On Friday December 20th we delivered gifts to 4 different families that needed a helping hand this holiday season. We were fortunate enough to have parents volunteer to donate to our initiative which helped us add more goodies for the families. We purchased toddler clothes, socks, snow boots, pull ups, wipes, baby dolls, a tricycle, Paw Patrol toys, books and over $500 in Shop Rite gift cards! Our Busy Little Bees family is overwhelmed by all we get to do as part of the "And More" of our mission. Thank you to all that helped make this happen!
Busy Little Bees Provides a Free Turkey to All Our Families This Holiday Season!
Busy Little Bees got to execute a small part of our "And More" mission of giving to our community by partnering with 22nd Street Meat Market to provide 120 turkeys to our families this holiday season. We are so grateful to Mark, Lou, and the rest of their staff that helped make this possible with quality service. Emily's mom Pam was the biggest fan of 22nd Street Meat Market and it was the only meat Miss Emily ate at home growing up. It's a true full circle "And More" moment for Miss Emily, as she has gone here all of her childhood. What an amazing experience for all!
Busy Little Bees Proudly Supports Brandon Smith's Fight Against ALS
Busy Little Bees had the honor of sponsoring this year’s T-shirts for the 5th Annual Brandon Smith Legend’s Classic 🏀. We want to take a moment to honor Brandon and his family as they continue their fight against ALS. This sponsorship has a tender significance to us because we grew up admiring Brandon as an athlete in both football and basketball. Brandon also coached Mr. Jonathan and was passionately involved with the Bayonne High School basketball and football team where most of the town grew up playing! When I think about “homegrown” and “hometown” for Bayonne sports, Brandon is among the players I think of. The “And More” mission of our school is to help give back to the community that raised us to love being a Bayonne Bee. This sponsorship was the perfect fit and feels like an honor and privilege to be able to help in such a small way. Our admiration for Brandon and his family as they continue to battle ALS is enormous. I know there are so many young men and women that Brandon has inspired to keep showing up and keeping doing what you can, by any means necessary. I have always shared a deep respect for his wife, Christyann, who has taken this all in stride with him and their two daughters. Being a caretaker is no small task, especially when it’s for someone you love. We are always praying for the Smith family and want to encourage our Busy Little Bees family to donate to such an incredible cause! Keep fighting Brandon, we are with you along the way! 🧡✨🐝🤍
