Distribute Outdoor Food Boxes and Manage Crowds with Los Angeles Regional Food Bank at Carson Senior Center
Volunteers are needed to help maintain crowd control and distribute food boxes to older adults in need in the community! The food boxes consist of shelf-stable items such as milk, beans, grains, and canned fruits and vegetables. These boxes go to an average of 28,000 older adults every month at 139 sites throughout Los Angeles County! They are proud to facilitate the largest Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) in the country and are eternally grateful for the dedicated volunteers who make this work possible. Requirements include being able to repeatedly bend and lift up to 30 pounds and participating for the entire shift. All volunteers must arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in. No walk-ins are allowed - all volunteers must register online ahead of time. To maintain a safe and secure environment, volunteers are required to stay on-site for the duration of their shift. Please do not leave the premises to deliver boxes to parked cars or private residences, as they cannot provide supervision or safety support outside their immediate site. The dress code requires closed-toe and closed-heel shoes, with casual and comfortable attire recommended (like a t-shirt and jeans). For safety reasons, please no shorts or tank tops. Gloves will be provided. Must be at least 18 years old.

Distribute Food at Senior Supportive Housing with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless)
Every first and third Thursday of each month, volunteers assist staff at their senior Permanent Supportive Housing site in Hollywood with sorting produce, non-perishable food, and other items. Volunteers also engage with residents that come down and “Shop” for their groceries. Sign-up is completed via Better Impact, and shifts run between the times of 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.
Pack and Deliver Homebound Groceries with Long Beach Community Table
Join the Sunday evening team to fill bags with nutritious groceries at their main warehouse and deliver them to seniors, immune-compromised individuals, and financially distressed families throughout the greater Long Beach area. Volunteers can come just to help pack and clean up, or use their personal vehicle to complete contactless home deliveries. A personal vehicle is required only if participating in the delivery route.
Engage in Diverse Community Services with Los Angeles LGBT Center
Join the volunteer network to support a wide array of essential programs caring for the LGBTQ+ community. Vetted individuals can contribute across multiple departments based on current center needs and personal skills. Opportunities include serving meals to seniors or unhoused youth, assisting with community group check-ins, mentoring youth, providing legal and health clinic clerical support, helping with back-office administration, and staffing major summer fundraising and cultural events. All volunteers must complete an initial orientation process to match with open shifts. Requires a volunteer profile setup, orientation, and background check for sensitive roles.
Deliver Animal Assisted Therapy and Operational Support with Love On 4 Paws
Join the team to bring comfort through animal-assisted therapy. For volunteers wishing to participate with their dogs, the process involves an initial evaluation of the dog's temperament, a formal facility audition, and field training during live visits. For animal lovers who do not have a dog but want to help, general volunteer positions are available to assist with special events, handle administrative office tasks, coordinate visit schedules, or photograph therapy teams in action at various community facilities. Handlers must be 18 or older; dogs must be at least 1 year old and pass testing.

Every Tuesday, volunteers join us at Big Sunday HQ to decorate mosaics in the shape of a sun. These beautiful works of art are then donated to schools, shelters, food banks – anywhere in need of a little more sunshine and warmth! This wonderful project is the brainchild of our old friend Cathy Weiss and led by Cathy and our own Big Sunday staff.

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.
