During the month of August one local establishment has been helping a local charity make an even bigger impact in the community.

The George Traditional House has joined Big Brothers & Big Sisters in their #EveryDayAllStar campaign.

Owner Mark Frank says he's happy to get involved with them.

"We're donating 25 cents of every beverage we sell this month and hopefully everybody can support and help the cause."

BBBS have been serving the community for years, helping young boys and girls in mentorship programs, and Frank says that's something his business can get behind and support.

"It's kind of a thing that we're obligated to," he says. "When we were young people helped us out and when I was in minor hockey people helped us out and it becomes our turn and as a community-based business, we're a mom and pop organization and that's what a community is all about."

Frank says he was approached by BBBS a few weeks ago asking for help and he couldn't say no.
