Welcome to Big Sunday’s 7th Annual Summer List!

As always, we have listed activities and projects helping all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways. And, as always, whoever you are, whatever you do (and whatever your age!) there is somebody who could use your help.

This summer, we have more than 1,200 projects helping all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways. We will update this list weekly through August 1 (at least), so please keep checking back.

If you’ve taken on or completed one of these projects, please email berenice@bigsunday.org and let us know – that way, we can thank you and direct other people to projects that still need their help!

One other thing: Please follow any other safety protocols of our nonprofit partners. We encourage volunteering, however, please note that you do so at your own risk. Participation confirms you hold Big Sunday and our nonprofit partners harmless to any claims stemming from this activity. (When applicable, you will be asked to sign a waiver.) Thanks for understanding.

Also, please note that we do not sponsor most of the summer projects on this list. Rather, we put them out to the Big Sunday community and hope someone sees it who wants to help. For sure, feel free to forward, post on social media, copy and print it wherever you think there are nice people who might want to help someone else.

Thanks, as always, for your great generosity of time, talent, spirit and stuff. At Big Sunday, we’re always amazed and moved by how generous so many people can be. Oh, and one more thing – if you enjoy helping during the summer, please remember that Big Sunday has all kinds of great ways to give back throughout the year. (You can’t believe how busy the fall will be!) We’d love your help. Feel free to check us out at www.bigsunday.org or contact info@bigsunday.org to see how you can get involved.

Please note: Activities that reoccur during the summer, with no specific dates and times, are listed at the top and include ALL SUMMER LONG in the description.

Helpful Search Hints: Please search for summer opportunities by location (i.e. city/neighborhood/zip code), key words and interest. Key words include the following: Animals; Arts & Crafts; Benefit; Clothing; Community Support; Disability; Education; Environment; Event Support; Food Insecurity; Health; Homelessness; Kids Welcome; Literacy; Poverty; Seniors; Veterans; Wildlife; Youth and more. If your key word has no listings, try a different one. ALSO, use the CTRL+F (or Command+F on a Mac) for a Find field that will appear on the top right of your screen. It's a super helpful search feature to type your preferences. There are loads of places that need your help!
