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 need general set up, clean up for the event and help during the event such as dishwashing. We also would need some volunteers for face painting and balloon making for the kids who will be in attendance.
Unite and create. Join us for an afternoon of art, music, performances, and more.
All ages welcome. Most activities are recommended for ages five and up. American Sign Language interpretation will be offered during performances and story time.
