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.

Have you been on a Big Sunday cruise yet?  They’re awesome!  We host big groups of underserved and deserving folks on special cruises through San Pedro Harbor.  Many of these nice people have never been on a boat before!  We need volunteers to host, be friendly and hand out donuts to guests, enjoy one another and the ride.  We call it the We’re All in the Same Boat Project and everyone has exactly one job: to meet one new person.  Pretty easy, right?  To RSVP, please contact Rob at rob@bigsunday.org or 323-549-9944.
