Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar.
We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.
If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show your loved ones just how much you care about them. Why not do the same for the environment?! Volunteers will meet behind Benchmark Brewing Company on Saturday, February 13th from 10am-12pm to cleanup surrounding streets and the San Diego River. Stick around after the cleanup for an after-party, courtesy of our friends at Benchmark Brewing Company. Register today!
We want to make sure no one is forgotten on Valentine’s Day. So we’re gathering tons of nice people to make cards and gift bags for thousands of shut-ins and people who are ailing, or facing a tough time. All Valentines will be picked up by the Do-Good Bus concluding the event. Perfect, right? For more info or to sign up today, please click HERE.
Every month, Big Sunday sponsors a food drive to collect food for a local food pantry or nonprofit organization. This month, we are collecting pasta and sauce for Alexandria House, a house of hospitality for women and children in need and a neighborhood center for education, advocacy and action. The food can be dropped off at Big Sunday starting today through Feb. 17 at 11 am. Wanna help sort the collected food? Stop by the Big Sunday office between 10 and 11 am on Feb. 17
. We’d love for you to pitch in!
