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.
Come and join over 1,000 community residents and local service providers in sharing information and resources to the community. This group is currently seeking health and workforce development organizations/entities to provide services in South Los Angeles. All are welcome to attend; booth space is limited. Please contact organization as soon as possible to gather additional information and to sign up. They are also looking for K-12 books to give away to the community. All resources will be accepted.
On May 3rd of 2014, the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission shelter and warehouse in North Hollywood were destroyed by a fire. Now, almost two years later, with the help of their generous community, the warehouse rebuild is nearing completion and they are getting ready for a grand opening. They are actively engaging the community in helping to fill the new warehouse with donated clothing and household items.
On Saturday, April 30th, SFVRM is holding a “Fill The New Warehouse” event at 13422 Saticoy Street, North Hollywood. The items will then be sold in SFVRM’s thrift stores which support its shelter and outreach services to neighbors who are experiencing homelessness.
Here’s what you can do to help:
- Host a corporate or personal clothing drive
- Bring items to the new warehouse on Saturday, April 30th from 9am – 6pm
Camp Hollywood HEART is a one week summer arts camp in Malibu, CA for teens across the nation impacted by HIV/AIDS. They offer workshops in filmmaking, fashion, writing, culinary arts, music, and more– and needless to say, with all the fun they have, there are a lot of supplies and equipment to clean up!
After 80 campers explore their creativity and find their artistic voices, they'll have to pack up all the supplies and bring it back down the mountain. It can be a big job for our staff and volunteers, most of which are exhausted from the long week and on early flights back home.
Won't you join them to pack up the camp and leave the site as beautiful as it was found? Some ability to lift light loads or a good eye for packing a U-Haul (all that Tetris 
playing does pay off!) is ideal but not required.
Join TREE MUSKETEERS Tree Team on Wednesdays to care for trees in El Segundo's urban forests!

At TREE MUSKETEERS kids are boss, but adult volunteers looking to support youth leaders can put their "Back Seat Driving" skills into action by joining the Adult Partner Team! This is also a great opportunity for you to volunteer with your child whether they are a general volunteer or Youth Planting Supervisor. Pick your schedule as you go, but folks who can help at Tree Musketeer's annual tree planting event, Arbor Day Celebration in March, are especially needed.
Register for the orientation through Tree Musketeer's website, email Volunteers@TreeMusketeers.org or call 310-322-0263 for more info.
