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.

They will provide the buckets and all the supplies to water the trees. If you're feeling really cheerful and would like to wear your little Elves or Santa Hats that would make great photo ops. Invite your family and friends. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

 

Decorations will be welcome!
