Big Sunday Weekend

Year-Round Community Calendar
The Big Sunday Community Calendar provides 70-to-80 volunteer opportunities and events with our nonprofit partners each month. Check it out to see how you can help! You’ll find everything from planting to pet adoptions to feeding the homeless.

theBIGlist
Every week we hear from people in the Big Sunday community who have things to give away. At the same time, our nonprofit partners call us with emergency needs. Now we’ve made it official with our online wish listcheck—it out!
End of the Month Club
Once a month Big Sunday will sponsor a drive to collect non-perishable food for a local food pantry. On the third Wednesday of every month anyone who’d like is invited to stop by our office to drop off food and/or help us sort and box it.
Corporate Days of Service
We work with businesses and corporations to design and manage community service projects. Our projects are a great way for your company to give back to the community; build team spirit among employees; provide a benefit to employees and their families; and build corporate pride
Holiday Volunteering & Giving Opportunities List
Between Thanksgiving and New Years Day, we post and publicize some 100 holiday projects for our nonprofit partners. Check out this great list to see how your office, scout troop, class, sewing circle or family can give back during the holidays.
