Big Sunday s Mission Big Sunday is the largest annual citywide community service event in America. It s a time for community building in Southern California, when volunteers of every age and from every walk of life work together to help others. There are countless opportunities for every passion, talent, skill and age. Projects are scheduled throughout the weekend, and they last anywhere from one hour to two full days. Some are big, some are small, some are easy and some are more involved. All are rewarding. And now Big Sunday includes Green Sunday, formalizing its long standing commitment to the environment. Although Big Sunday is held over one weekend, many of their volunteers stay actively involved throughout the year with the organizations they ve helped. In addition, Big Sunday does scores of Holiday Projects between Thanksgiving and New Year s Day. Everything about Big Sunday is non denominational and apolitical.
