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.
Each year we collect and pack big bags full of Thanksgiving dinner for thousands of people, including vets, homeless families, women in domestic violence shelters, group homes, low-income families with autistic children, food pantries, schools and more as part of our End of the Month Club Initiative. This year will be even bigger! We need volunteers to donate food and pack up all the Thanksgiving goodies. We’ll all enjoy a community breakfast as well. To RSVP, please contact Rob at rob@bigsunday.org or 323-549-9944.
Each month Big Sunday collects at least 600 items in our popular monthly food drive to help hungry and grateful people. Sorting is December 16 from 10 -11 am. Food can be delivered before that date/time. Can’t shop? We also accept money so we can shop for you! For more info, contact endofthemonthclub@bigsunday.org.
Every month, Big Sunday sponsors a food drive to collect food for a local food pantry or nonprofit organization. This month, we are encouraging everyone to Clean Out Your Cupboards and donate all unexpired, nonperishable food to our senior friends at EngAGE! EngAGE is a non-profit that transforms aging and the way people think about aging by turning affordable senior apartment communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness and creativity. The food can be dropped off at Big Sunday starting today through Jan. 20 at 11 am. Wanna help sort the collected food? Stop by the Big Sunday office between 10 and 11 am on Jan. 20. We’d love for you to pitch in!

For years, Big Sunday Weekend—an incredible three-day festival of helping each May—has been our signature (and largest) event. In 2015, thousands of volunteers turned out—some as individuals, others with their families, still others as part of a class, church, synagogue, mosque, business or club—to lend a hand at hundreds of different projects from San Diego to San Francisco, making Big Sunday Weekend one of the largest regional community service events in America. In 2016, Big Sunday Weekend is expanding to A Month of Big Sundays. After 17 years, we’ve simply grown too big to contain everything in one weekend.
In May 2016, Big Sunday is hosting and/or sponsoring special events every single day of the month. Now we can take on even bigger projects, reach more people, make new alliances, and more easily fit in with everyone’s (and every organization’s) busy schedules. We’ll still have all kinds of events for every kind of passion and every type of talent. If you are at a school, faith group or business making your 2016 calendar now, please set aside any day during May 2016 and know that we’ll find a project that’s both impactful and fun for you to do. If you want to host a project, please select any day during May. Of course, we’ll still be bringing people together from all walks of life in the name of making the world a better place. For many people, A Month of Big Sundays (formerly Big Sunday Weekend) is just the beginning of an involvement that continues throughout the year. In the mea
ntime, if you have any questions or suggestions, please visit http://mobs.bigsunday.org/.
