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.

Volunteer: Free Arts Work Day #2
Nov 4 @ 2:00 pm – Nov 4 @ 4:00 pm

Our pals at Free Arts for Abused Children are in need of 1 – 2 happy, helpful volunteers to assist with the clean-up and organization of their new office on November 4 from 2 – 4 pm.  The ideal volunteer would be able to space plan because they have a small office with a lot of stuff! For this date, the volunteers will be mainly organizing the Art Supply Room.  Volunteers must wear something comfortable since they’ll be doing some light lifting of boxes/office supplies, etc.  Appropriate attire includes closed toe shoes (example: flats or sneakers) and casual wear (example: t-shirt and jeans).  Volunteers may bring food/snacks/water/non-alcoholic beverages, etc.

Volunteer Criteria

  • Listen to instructions from the Free Arts Staff Member
  • Be able to stay the full 2 hours
  • Lift boxes 20-30lbs (just off the shelf – and will not be doing much lifting at all)
  • Open boxes
