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.
Help Big Sunday send kids back to school in style as we sort, count and pack all kinds of requested items for kids at a bunch of different low-income schools in Los Angeles and Long Beach during our 7th Annual Back-to-School Drive & Community Dinner. The sorting will be followed by a delicious and fun community dinner. We need donors and volunteers. For more info, please contact on items we are collecting or to RSVP, please click HERE.

Help grow our urban forest by Adopting a Tree and honoring a loved one!
Tree Musketeers’ Community Forester will work with you to select from the species and locations available on Memory Row, where Memory Trees are planted. The Tree Adoption Ceremony will be held on Saturday, August 20th. Complete your Memory Tree Reservation Form today!
Adopting a tree is also great for those who:
* Live in an apartment with no place to own a tree
* Want to give a unique gift to tree-loving friends
* Want to mark a birth, passing, wedding, birthday, or personal accomplishment
* Want to help but don’t know how
* Are too young to handle the tools necessary to plant a tree
This ongoing series explores the wide range of movies that can be considered Westerns, and the ways in which they shape our understanding of the American West. The July/August screenings feature buddy comedies that offer humorous explorations of the West, with guest speaker Josh Garrett-Davis, the Autry’s Gamble Assistant Curator of Western History, Popular Culture, and Firearms. For more info, please contact The Autry Museum of the American West.
Camp Hollywood HEART is a one week summer arts camp in Malibu, CA for teens across the nation impacted by HIV/AIDS. They offer workshops in filmmaking, fashion, writing, culinary arts, music, and more– and needless to say, with all the fun they have, there are a lot of supplies and equipment to clean up!
After 80 campers explore their creativity and find their artistic voices, they'll have to pack up all the supplies and bring it back down the mountain. It can be a big job for our staff and volunteers, most of which are exhausted from the long week and on early flights back home.
Won't you join them to pack up the camp and leave the site as beautiful as it was found? Some ability to lift light loads or a good eye for packing a U-Haul (all that Tetris 
playing does pay off!) is ideal but not required.
