Provide Healthy Social Interaction with a Family Game Night at LA Family Housing
Volunteers play board games and chat with families transitioning out of homelessness at interim housing sites in Los Angeles County. One of the most powerful ways to help participants transitioning out of homelessness is to give them opportunities for healthy social interaction. It may seem like you are just playing checkers, but you are helping someone practice their communication skills and heal their interpersonal relationships. REQUIREMENTS: Must first attend their required (but awesome) training. Must be over 18. They do not fulfill court-ordered volunteer hours.

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.
