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.
We want to make sure no one is forgotten on Valentine’s Day. So we’re gathering tons of nice people to make cards and gift bags for thousands of shut-ins and people who are ailing, or facing a tough time. All Valentines will be picked up by the Do-Good Bus concluding the event. Perfect, right? For more info or to sign up today, please click HERE.
Women writers and directors in the entertainment industry constantly encounter roadblocks when attempting to advance their careers – even when they are just as talented and capable as their male counterparts. Women actors have a similar problem simply because the number of female roles is significantly less than for men. Friend of Big Sunday Amy Lloyd and her business partner Christina Gray have combined efforts to combat this issue with a special IndieGogo campaign for their production company “Chicks Who Make Flicks.” This organization is working to do its part to increase visibility and provide more opportunities for women. The production company creates films made by women, films that tell great woman’s stories, films that capture the voices of women from all over the world and at every stage of their life. Their goal is to create an environment that supports, encourages, and celebrates talented female filmmakers.

Every month, Big Sunday sponsors a food drive to collect food for a local food pantry or nonprofit organization. This month, we are collecting pasta and sauce for Alexandria House, a house of hospitality for women and children in need and a neighborhood center for education, advocacy and action. The food can be dropped off at Big Sunday starting today through Feb. 17 at 11 am. Wanna help sort the collected food? Stop by the Big Sunday office between 10 and 11 am on Feb. 17
. We’d love for you to pitch in!
