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.

Dec 11 @ 3:00 pm – Dec 11 @ 5:00 pm

Each year people from all walks of life join us to eat, sing (with a live band!) and enjoy the holidays. As always, our guests of honor are the incredible kids from Ability First and the amazing folks from Sunset Hall. We’re also hosting other friends with struggles large and small.

ch0026Volunteers are needed to spread some holiday cheer to our invited guests. There will be singing (good singing not necessary — trust us) (and no, you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to). We’ll deck the halls and light a menorah, too. Of course, there will be loads of arts & crafts and delicious holiday treats. We’ll also be collecting toys for kids, winter coats for kids and adults and non-perishable food items for our End of the Month Club.  To sign up today, click HERE!

Big Sunday’s 5th Annual MLK Day Clothing Collection & Community Breakfast @ Big Sunday
Jan 16 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

At Big Sunday, we’re amazed by how many people simply don’t have enough clothes. So, once again, we’ll be collecting all kinds of clothing for all kinds of disadvantaged and grateful people. Volunteers are needed to count, sort, and fold the donations. We’ll also all be enjoying breakfast together and, once again, everyone is invited to meet someone new and participate in our memorable Something in Common photo project.

We like to think that this is in the spirit of Dr. King and something he’d have enjoyed.

Sign up at mlk-2016-imagination-croppedhttp://bigsunday.org/get-involved/mlkday/.

This event is made possible by a generous donation from Elizabeth Naftali, Groundwork Coffee and Banner Bank.

If you’d like to also be a sponsor of this special event, please contact adam@bigsunday.org.

Sponsorships are $5000, $2500 and $1000.

Big Sunday’s 5th Annual Valentine-Making, Bingo-Playing Community Dinner @ Big Sunday
Feb 12 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Big Sunday wants to ensure no one is forgotten on Valentine’s Day, so we’re gathering volunteers to make cards and gift bags for thousands of shut-ins and people who are ailing or facing a tough time. Participants will also enjoy a terrific community dinner and, a raucous game of bingo. All ages are welcome!

Big Sunday is also collecting unexpired, non-perishable food items for our friends at Alexandria House, a non-profit transitional residence and house of hospitality providing safe and supportive housing for women and children in the process of moving from emergency shelter to permanent housing.

We are collecting pasta and sauce, but cleaning out your cupboards is great. Soups, canned meats, cereal, beans, jelly and peanut butter are always winners too.

BTW: Would you or your group be interested in being a sponsor of this event?
(Sponsorships start at $1000 and allow us to keep all our programs free!) Contact adam@bigsunday.org.
