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.

Central Neighborhood Tree Planting @ Long Beach, CA 90806
Mar 16 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Dear Neighborhood Leaders and Urban Foresters —

 

I am happy to share that new street trees are coming to Central Long Beach! 

  

Up to 100 trees will be planted in the neighborhood bounded by:

 

Willow Street –- North

 

Hill Street –- South

 

Atlantic Avenue — East

 

Long Beach Boulevard -– West

 

SBCC Thrive LA’s Grupo Mariposas and East Los Angeles Women’s Center — Promontoras Contra la Violencia Domestica and Community Development YMCA of Greater Long Beach Bobby Smith Community Leadership Institute are all committed to help plant, water and care for these trees for their first year.  They have chosen the theme “Unite the Neighborhood” and will use this tree planting as an opportunity to bring parents and neighbors together to get to know each other and help make the neighborhood a safer place for everyone.

 

Come help plant the trees!
