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.

VIP Back to School Drive
Jul 28 – Jul 29 all-day

VIP Logo One line  RGB

Violence Intervention Program (VIP) is kicking off its annual Back to School Drive, focused on providing over 800 backpacks full of basic school supplies to clients and siblings. VIP’s clients represent a highly vulnerable population of at-risk and foster youth, but they believe every child should start the first day of school with the confidence to succeed and they need your help! VIP is looking for individuals and businesses to organize a drive this summer with their schools, offices, or community groups to collect backpacks and supplies (i.e. binders, notepads, folders, composition books). They are also looking for individuals to volunteer to prepare for the event by filling and sorting backpacks and help hand out backpacks on the day of the event. If you are interested in getting involved, please email or call Development Associate Nina Popoff at npopoff@vip-cmhc.org or 323-221-4134 x230.

NOTE: VIP is collecting donations on an ongoing basis now through August 4, 2016.
