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.
Each year we collect and pack bags full of Thanksgiving dinner for thousands of people, including vets; homeless families; women in domestic violence shelters; group homes; low income families with autistic children; food pantries; schools and more. This year will be even bigger! We need people to donate food, as well as pack everything up. And yes, everyone is invited to join together for community breakfast, too!
Each year people from all walks of life join us to eat, sing (with a live band!) and enjoy the holidays. Special guest have included low-income seniors, kids with challenges, women and children from a domestic viloence shelter, vets, and others who needed a little extra TLC at the holidays. We'll collect toys, food for hungry families, and winter coats, too.
