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.

A Month of Big Sundays @ Varied locations throughout California (please check website for details)
May 1 – Jun 1 all-day

For years, Big Sunday Weekend—an incredible three-day festival of helping each May—has been our signature (and largest) event.  In 2015, thousands of volunteers turned out—some as individuals, others with their families, still others as part of a class, church, synagogue, mosque, business or club—to lend a hand at hundreds of different projects from San Diego to San Francisco, making Big Sunday Weekend one of the largest regional community service events in America. In 2016, Big Sunday Weekend is expanding to A Month of Big Sundays. After 17 years, we’ve simply grown too big to contain everything in one weekend.

In May 2016, Big Sunday is hosting and/or sponsoring special events every single day of the month. Now we can take on even bigger projects, reach more people, make new alliances, and more easily fit in with everyone’s (and every organization’s) busy schedules. We’ll still have all kinds of events for every kind of passion and every type of talent. If you are at a school, faith group or business making your 2016 calendar now, please set aside any day during May 2016 and know that we’ll find a project that’s both impactful and fun for you to do. If you want to host a project, please select any day during May. Of course, we’ll still be bringing people together from all walks of life in the name of making the world a better place. For many people, A Month of Big Sundays (formerly Big Sunday Weekend) is just the beginning of an involvement that continues throughout the year.  In the meaJonathan Leentime, if you have any questions or suggestions, please visit http://mobs.bigsunday.org/.

During the month of May, Big Sunday is hosting a massive food drive —10K in May — in an effort to collect 10,000 units of food for the hungry!  Feel free to donate unexpired, nonperishable food items at Big Sunday during our office hours M – F, 9 am – 5 pm.

On May 31 from 10 am – 5 pm, join us for our "A Month of Big Sundays" day-long open house, which will feature our biggest End of the Month Club ever.  Help sort, pack and distribute all the food donated during the month and any other final donations.  Feel free to help jump-start our beach towel collection for June.  Volunteers can look forward to great food, good music, fantastic company and lots of ideas on how you can be involved in upcoming months! Food will be sorted in the morning and our nonprofit friends will pick up their items in the afternoon.  Sign up for the May 31 End of the Month Club project here.
