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 Big Sunday for a huge community cleanup in West LA! We will be joining forces with the West LA Community Coalition to help beautify the West LA Civic Center, Library and surrounding areas. Volunteers are needed to help with picking up trash, landscaping, tree trimming, cleaning tree beds, removing graffiti and more.
