Become Welcome Home Helpers with My Friend’s Place
Form a volunteer group with friends, family, or co-workers to support youth transitioning out of homelessness. When a young person secures housing, this group functions as Welcome Home Helpers by purchasing and compiling a personalized wish list of household essentials. The items are then delivered to the organization by appointment to furnish the client's new space.
Assemble Welcome Home Kits with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless)
Every week, PATH moves dozens of Angelenos off the streets and into homes. Volunteers can help these new residents feel safe and comfortable in their new home by providing a "Welcome Home Kit" filled with basic home goods, kitchen items, and cleaning supplies. These kits are critical to help neighbors start their journey of having a new place to call home. Urgent needs include bedding, home goods (laundry hamper, bathmat, shower caddy), kitchen items (pots & pans, dishes, utensils), hygiene items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste), cleaning supplies, and Target gift cards. For health and safety reasons, all items must be new and unopened.
Host a Clothing and Undergarment Drive with Ascencia
Often when new clients arrive to their Access Center, the only clothes they own are what they are wearing.

New items only please.

A spin-off of our flagship weekly event TM@10, Accessible Wednesdays @ 10 (AW@10 for short) hosts volunteers every Wednesday to work on hands-on projects to help local nonprofits. The difference? The projects we do on Wednesdays are specially geared to be accessible to folks of all ability levels! Our guests of honor at each AW@10 are groups of volunteers with intellectual and developmental disabilities from some of our partner organizations like AbilityFirst, ETTA, PassAbility, Partners For Potential, and Arroyo Development Services. At Big Sunday, we firmly believe that everyone has something to give, and that everyone has fun helping others! Anyone and everyone is invited to join us for AW@10, whether it’s with a group or as an individual who wants to help out and hang out with some of the best volunteers in the business. From assembling goodie bags for unhoused people and their dogs to decorating pumpkins for underserved kids at Halloween, there’s always something fun going on at AW@10. This week we will be sorting cloths for donations.

TM@10 (Thursday Morning @ 10) is not only one of our favorite programs, but it’s one of our most popular, too! Every Thursday morning from 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM, volunteers gather at Big Sunday HQ to work on hands-on projects that help local nonprofits. We’ve assembled birthday gifts for folks in shelters, written letters to soldiers stationed overseas, packed backpacks for ex-gang members starting college, made fleece blankets for shelter kittens, and done about a thousand other fun and meaningful things. In classic Big Sunday fashion, it’s a great way for people to meet new people, work together, and enjoy some laughs while helping someone else. It’s no wonder we have so many regulars who come every single week! We’re regularly joined by groups like AbilityFirst, Partners For Potential, and of course the famous TM Ladies! Projects we’ve worked on have benefited organizations like Covenant House, Carlos Santa Ana Academy, PATH, Exceptional Children’s Foundation, Angelus Plaza, and countless others.
