Got Stuff 2009

Big Sunday Kicks Off Collection Drives

It’s that crucial time of year again – when Big Sunday starts collecting the countless items we need: new and gently used children’s books, new and gently used clothes, non-perishable foods, gently used musical instruments, diapers, new socks and underwear, luggage, eyeglasses and eyeglass frames and new and gently used baby items. And this year we’ll be collecting e-cycling materials, too. On Big Sunday, we distribute this bounty – from your incredible generosity – to deserving low-income schools, foodbanks, homeless shelters and countless other nonprofit organizations.

More than a dozen synagogues, churches and other agencies – from Los Angeles to Irvine – act as central hubs for our collection drives. Come back soon to see a list of locations where you can drop off items between April 26th and May 3rd. 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 or house of worship, feel free. Just make sure to drop off whatever you collect at one of the many central sites available.
