On Big Sunday Weekend we do tons of construction, repair, painting and planting projects. We give away hundreds of gift baskets filled with everything from cleaning goods to diapers to toiletries. Further, we give away socks, clothing, books, luggage and canned and dry food to a variety of nonprofits and food banks.

We also collect lots of stuff during the year – everything from school supplies and books for our Monthly on Melrose events to toys and gift cards during the holidays. And we get special requests all the time, so check back here for updates.

If you have any items you’d like to donate, or can connect us with someone who does, please contact us at the Big Sunday office at 323-549-9944. And, of course, if you’d like to donate money to help us buy some of what we need, or become a Big Sunday sponsor, we’d love that, too!

Here are a few things we collect year-round:

• New blank tee shirts (all sizes, preferably white)
