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.

Dear Neighborhood and Community Leaders —
More new trees are coming to the Hamilton neighborhood in North Long Beach in 2017! I am writing to invite you and your groups to volunteer at this tree planting event!
The Port of Long Beach has provided funding to plant 6,000 trees in Long Beach neighborhoods through 2020! Businesses and community groups are partnering with Housing and Neighborhood Services to provide volunteers at the tree planting events.
Come help build the urban forest in Long Beach with the Hamilton Neighborhood Association!
The trees will be planted in the neighborhood bounded by:
68th Street (North)
Artesia Boulevard (South)
Atlantic Avenue (West)
Gardenia Avenue (East)
we will be doing a Car Wash at Covenant House on Saturday, sept 9th from 10 – 2pm to raise funds for the hurricane victims in Texas. We have a Covenant House in Houston and they suffered a lot of damage and some staff lost everything. So we will be sending the money directly to them.

As Chair of the Board, I am proud to invite you to the 2017 Jewish Community Lifetime Achievement Award Gala on Sunday, September 17, 2017, honoring Helgard and Irwin Field. The Fields are pillars of our community, and, as their friend, I am deeply honored to introduce them on what promises to be a wonderful evening.
Throughout their 31 years together, the Fields have inspired Jewish Los Angeles with their commitment to our Federation and many other leading Jewish and civic organizations. Their philanthropy and leadership are what make them so very deserving of our Federation’s Jewish Community Lifetime Achievement Award. You can learn more about this power couple on our blog.
Helgard and Irwin Field have created a shared legacy of believing that it’s up to them to make the world a better place — and doing so together. Proceeds from the event will support our Federation’s efforts to support children with special needs and their families. I hope you will join me in honoring The Fields.
Visit The Corner Collective for a one-night-only pop-up shop at the Upright Citizens Brigade Inner Sanctum! Join us for an evening of art, comedy and community featuring work created by the youth of My Friend’s Place and performances by the UCB improv teams.
Photography, art and design pieces (including those seen below) will be on sale, with 80% of proceeds going directly to the young artists.
The Corner Collective showcases the creative endeavors of the youth of My Friend’s Place, where creative arts programming intersects with efforts to provide youth experiencing homelessness with opportunities to support skill development, job readiness and long-term self-sufficiency.
All are welcome to join the pop-up event! Please RSVP to Serita Robinson at srobinson@myfriendsplace.org by Monday, September 18. If you can't make the pop up, be sure and check out The Corner Collective online store to view and purchase original pieces created by our young people.
