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.
This family friendly event showcases the delicious diversity of Riverside along with a little competition. Food and drink vendors from all levels of experience come together to share their tastings, compete for several category prizes like Best Pro Dish or Best Home Brew, all while raising awareness and support for the work Path of Life does both here in the City of Riverside and across the county.
We encourage you to share your (or your company's) talent with the community by registering as a cook, brewer, or vintner, signing up as a sponsor, donating a basket for silent auction, or becoming a retail vendor. Use the links below to easily choose your participation area or contact Path of Life for more information.
All proceeds from this event go to support homeless services and programs at Path of Life. Supplies, fees, and other donations are tax deductible; please contact us for more information. Thank you for your support in helping to end homelessness.

Every June, AHEAD With Horses Inc. holds their Annual Children’s Demonstration and Fun Day. This is a day when all of the children in our program can showcase all of the wonders they have accomplished while riding a horse and have their friends and family cheer them on as they receive their Outstanding Achievement Awards. These accomplishments can range from now being able to lift their head, sit, use their hands and arms, move legs, stand, walk, speak or other communication, focus, follow directions, etc. These might seem like simple tasks to you, but to these children and their families, they can be life changing!
In addition to our Children's Demonstration, we also have a BBQ, games, arts & crafts and a Silent Auction.
We will need lots of volunteers to help with set up, clean up, running the game booths and arts & crafts, helping with the silent auction, helping with the bbq, parking, and many other activities. If you and/or any friends or groups you are a part of can sign up for a shift or 2, we would be very grateful. We cannot put on this event all by ourselves, we need the help of all of you! Thank you for helping us out!
If you are able to volunteer, please take a look at our online sign up sheet and put your name down for any slots that you can fill.
