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.
Join us for TM@10 at Big Sunday headquarters where we’ll host a different service project each week that benefits a worthy cause! Enjoy good food, good company and good deeds; everyone is welcome. Some of the groups we’ve helped include BookEnds, Quilts with a Divine Quest, and lots of shelters, hospitals and senior facilities around all over town. For more info or to sign up, contact rob@bigsunday.org or click HERE. 
Join our friends at So Cal Quilts of Valor for their Sew Days held every Thursday (except on holidays). Volunteers are needed to help construct quilts to be awarded to veterans to thank them for their service and/or help them in their healing. For more info, please visit www.socalqov.org. They especially need long-arm quilters to complete the process. Please contact Barbara Winkler for more info or to sign up today!

Don’t miss Big Sunday’s First-Ever Gala on March 9 from 6 – 9 pm at République
!
We’ll be honoring Paulette Light & Melanie Staggs, Tony Molina, and Parsons Corp. Melanie and Paulette have run Big Sunday’s monthly food drive, The End of the Month Club, since its inception, and they have also overseen the massive food collection and distribution we’ve done for the past few years at Thanksgiving. They have done an amazing job nurturing and building this extremely popular and successful program, as well as this great and growing Thanksgiving tradition. Tony Molina is a wonderful gentleman who works at NBC-Universal in the transportation department, and has helped Big Sunday move about a zillion pounds of stuff over many years, as well as run all kinds of projects for us, rehabbing schools and shelters. We’ve happily worked with Parsons Corp. on all kinds of terrific and impactful service projects, from San Diego to San Francisco.
We’re excited by the enthusiastic reception for this event and for our very deserving honorees.
