We want to make sure no one is forgotten on Valentine’s Day.  So we’re gathering tons of nice people to make cards and gift bags for thousands of shut-ins and people who are ailing, or facing a tough time.  All Valentines will be picked up by the Do-Good Bus concluding the event.  Perfect, right?    For more info or to sign up today, please click HERE.

Join us for our first-ever Mother’s Day Party! It will be a great time for anyone who is a mom, has a mom, or knows a mom. We’ll be making cards and gifts for moms who are shut-ins and doing special collections for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, and m2m (Mother 2 Mother) which helps women with AIDS in Africa. We’ll also be collecting new and gently used baby clothes for an orphanage in Central America. All ages are welcome. For more info, please email beenish@bigsunday.org.

Join us for our 7th Annual Spooky Sunday as we host a number of local nonprofits and their families for our Annual Halloween Bash!

Brighten up the holidays for our vets! Join us as we decorate three enormous buildings at the VA in Westwood. This is a wonderful annual tradition and the kick-off for nearly 20 different Big Sunday holiday decorating events.  All ages welcome. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.  Groups are also welcome. Contact beenish@bigsunday.org to volunteer or for the full decorating schedule and address details. This is just the first of more than a dozen holiday decorating events! 

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.

Volunteers 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!

You don’t have to be Jewish to join Big Sunday as we host a holiday sing-a-long for and with seniors in Beverly Hills for an early Hanukkah celebration. Mix and mingle, sing and schmooze, while bringing a bit of festivity and joy to some lively, friendly and fun-loving seniors. This year we’ll be going to the Beverly Carmel North on Burton Way. (Last year we went to the Beverly Carmel South. For those who were there, you’ll remember that it was unforgettable.) All ages are welcome. Please RSVP to beenish@bigsunday.org for more info and address details.
 

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.

Can you donate clothes?
Great! You can drop off new and gently-used clothes at Big Sunday Monday – Friday from 9 am – 5 pm or you can drop off clothes on the morning of the event, if you plan to attend. We need all kinds of clothes, all sizes. Only new socks and underwear, please.
 

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.
