Welcome to Big Sunday!

We connect people through helping.

"WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT" CRUISE

The first Big Sunday Harbor Cruise of the year is about to set sail!

As part of our We're All in the Same Boat Project,
Big Sunday invites folks from all walks of life to join us on a cruise around Long Beach Harbor!
It might be the easiest way to help out with Big Sunday.

All we ask is that everyone meet at least one new person.
Then, we hit the water and enjoy the California sunshine, coffee, donuts, sea lions, and one another.

We hope you can join us for this awesome event
on Sunday, March 16th from 10 - 12pm.
All ages welcome! Spots fill up fast, so don't miss out!

LOS ANGELES FIRES UPDATE

We hope this finds you safe and well during this terribly challenging time.

Thank you, so much, to everyone who has pitched in, helped out, and given back over these past few difficult weeks.

Big Sunday has been very happy to continue to respond to all kinds of needs in all kinds of ways –
both for those the many who need help, as well as the enormous number of people looking to help others.
It’s not surprising, but it has been moving and humbling to your endless generosity, compassion, kindness and love.

As many of you know, our headquarters in Hollywood has become a collection and distribution center.
We have received all kinds of generous in-kind and cash donations and support from all over the country, and it continues to pour in.
We are working hard to meet the changing requests and needs. If you’re interested in donating items or volunteering your time,
please check our emails, or contact [email protected] for the latest updates before you come by.
If your organization needs items, please contact [email protected].
We’ll always do out best, but please know that our inventory keeps changing.

And yes, we are also offering temporary paid employment for people who have lost their jobs because of the fires.
We are so happy to be able to do this. Much of the work involves helping us sort through the thousands of donated items.
Win-win-win. Requests must come through references such as school professionals, case workers and others. 
Please contact [email protected] for more information.

Here are some resources for you – ways to get help, ways to help others, other helpful information.

Here, too, things keep changing. We are trying to keep the list updated.
There are many other good lists out there, with lots of others doing wonderful work, so be sure to check those, too.

As always, please stay safe, follow directions of first responders and government officials
and wherever possible, help one another.

Thanks as always.

Tons of ways to help!

Special Thanks to our GenErous Sponsors!
