Now in its 14th year, Big Sunday Weekend is the largest regional community service festival in the United States, engaging tens of thousands of volunteers of all ages, races, religions, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds from all over California, with projects from San Diego to the Bay Area.
Big Sunday Weekend cuts across social barriers, bringing together thousands of people who work together at hundreds of nonprofits, schools and other agencies that need their help. Volunteers participate as individuals, with their families, or as part of a school, faith group, business or club.
These groups, however they are composed, come together to lend a hand at hundreds of projects at varied locations helping hundreds of local, national and international nonprofit organizations. There are volunteer opportunities for every passion, talent, skill and age. Projects are scheduled throughout the weekend, and can last anywhere from one hour to two full days.
Big Sunday Weekend also includes special events such as concerts, book fairs, and blood drives. Truckloads of clothes, books, food, furniture, musical instruments, luggage, toys and other items are also collected and donated to various nonprofits.
Big Sunday has no religious or political agenda and all events are free to all participants. All the projects are funded by private and corporate cash grants and in-kind donations. To sign-up to volunteer on Big Sunday Weekend, or find other ways to help and volunteer year-round.
