Big Sunday Donation Drop-Off Centers Now Open

It’s that crucial time of year again — a few weeks before Big Sunday when we start collecting the countless items we need: clothing, books, canned and non-perishable foods, new socks, sheets and towels, board games, luggage, bicycles and more. On Big Sunday we distribute this bounty — from your incredible generosity — to deserving low-income schools, food banks and nonprofits throughout the Southland.

More than a dozen synagogues, churches and other agencies act as central hubs for our collection drives. Below you’ll find a list of all these places, along with details about what they’re collecting, where they’re located and when they’re open. If you’d like a complete list of what we need, please click here. And, if you’d like to start a collection drive at your school, office, church or synagogue, feel free. Just make sure to drop off whatever you collect at one of the many central sites listed below.
