Welcome to Big Sunday’s 6th Annual Summer List!
As always, we have 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 350 projects helping all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways.
Of course, everyone is working hard to keep up with the changing rules surrounding COVID, while also working to keep everyone healthy and safe.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 nicolo@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 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.
