Please note that we do not sponsor most of the holiday projects on this list. Rather, we put them out to the Big Sunday community and hope someone sees it who wants to help. And every year, it’s incredible how many people do! Then again, this list gets forwarded, posted, copied, printed, and tweeted all over the place. Feel free to pass it along, too.
And if you enjoy helping at the holidays, please remember that Big Sunday has all kinds of great ways to give back throughout the year. We’d love your help. Feel free to check us out at www.bigsunday.org or contact info@bigsunday.org to see how you can get involved.

Wetlands are one of many habitats that encompass a watershed and provide a crucial connection between land and the ocean. They also provide functions, known as ecosystem services, that are vital not only to the native and migratory species that inhabit them, but to humans as well. Some of these important functions include: mitigation of climate change by trapping carbon dioxide (carbon sink), serving as a buffer zone during flooding events, maintaining water supplies by replenishing aquifers and filtering water that passes through, and providing essential habitat for plants and wildlife. You can help protect the Bolsa Chica wetlands, its threatened species and their habitats, while at the same time supporting the education of thousands of K-12 students with your donation to the Bolsa Chica Conservancy today. Your support of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy's STEM-based educational programs on wetland science, watersheds, coastal ecology, environmental sustainability, and habitat restoration will make a world of difference to students in need.

Recover produce, fight hunger, and build community at your local farmers market! We "glean"---meaning we collect fresh, surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste--and donate 100% to local hunger relief organizations. Join the Volunteer Glean Team to help collect fruit and vegetable donations from vendors at the farmers market, and then box, sort, and weigh the donations. Volunteers should be comfortable carrying boxes of produce that may weigh up to 40 pounds, but can register to volunteer with someone who can help them lift if 40 pounds is too heavy. Volunteers don't need to worry about bringing equipment or transporting the food. This opportunity is open to volunteers 12 years old and older, though children under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please check the Volunteer FAQ page on their website to learn more about what to expect at volunteer events.

We "glean"---meaning we collect fresh, surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste--and donate 100% to local hunger relief organizations. Join the Volunteer Glean Team to help collect fruit and vegetable donations from vendors at the farmers market, and then box, sort, and weigh the donations. Volunteers should be comfortable carrying boxes of produce that may weigh up to 40 pounds, but can register to volunteer with someone who can help them lift if 40 pounds is too heavy. Volunteers don't need to worry about bringing equipment or transporting the food. This opportunity is open to volunteers 12 years old and older, though children under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please check the Volunteer FAQ page on their website to learn more about what to expect at volunteer events.

Recover produce, fight hunger, and build community at your local farmers market! We "glean"---meaning we collect fresh, surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste--and donate 100% to local hunger relief organizations. Join the Volunteer Glean Team to help collect fruit and vegetable donations from vendors at the farmers market, and then box, sort, and weigh the donations. Volunteers should be comfortable carrying boxes of produce that may weigh up to 40 pounds, but can register to volunteer with someone who can help them lift if 40 pounds is too heavy. Volunteers don't need to worry about bringing equipment or transporting the food. This opportunity is open to volunteers 12 years old and older, though children under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please check the Volunteer FAQ page on their website to learn more about what to expect at volunteer events.

Join the Volunteer Glean Team to help collect fruit and vegetable donations from vendors at the farmers market, and then box, sort, and weigh the donations. Volunteers should be comfortable carrying boxes of produce that may weigh up to 40 pounds, but can register to volunteer with someone who can help them lift if 40 pounds is too heavy. Volunteers don't need to worry about bringing equipment or transporting the food. This opportunity is open to volunteers 12 years old and older, though children under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please check the Volunteer FAQ page on their website to learn more about what to expect at volunteer events.

Please do not post as an invitation to attend. Toys and Volunteers are needed). New Image is seeking volunteer Elves for it 30th Annual Children's Christmas Store, which will serve over 2,000 children from homeless and low-income families.

At Thanksgiving we give out hundreds of turkeys and side dishes in Watts so no plate is empty and our community is cared for. The first 200 families (600 total) at three different housing projects (Jordan Downs, Imperial Courts, Nickerson Gardens) receives a turkey and a bag of everything they need for a feast. This way, families can focus on the things that matter instead of wondering if they can afford the meal. The event is promoted in the community. It is first-come, first served at each location. We do not ask for proof of residency, as many people in need are turned away at similar events for not being in government provided housing. This year, for added engagement, we will be hosting Thanksgiving Bingo in Jordan Downs where community members can hang out and win prizes after picking up their turkey and fixings. Bingo will be free to play.Please email siobhain@childrenmendinghearts.org with any questions.

This year, our goal is to fill 4000 (!) bags full of delicious Thanksgiving food for grateful people. The bags are given away the day before Thanksgiving, so people have them in time for Thanksgiving dinner. We'll be feeding 16,000 people from more than 100 different nonprofits and schools throughout the greater Los Angeles area. And, of course, it will take a village to make it all happen, on the day, and in the weeks leading up to it. The actual event is the day before Thanksgiving and more than 2000 people, of all ages, from all walks of life, will gather to gather to fill the bags, all while enjoying some great bluegrass music, a delicious community breakfast, and, as always, the company of one another. One of our favorite parts of the event is that many people filling the bags are receiving them, too. For everyone, it's a day to give as well as receive.

Each year we get asked to decorate all kinds of places Ð vets' homes, clinics, shelters, group residences Ð in all kinds of ways for all the year-end holidays. Sometimes the residents join in, too! And sometimes even Santa stops by, too. If you or your group wants to spread some cheer this year, let us know and we'll find a place for you!

A yearly favorite for our community of Watts is the Winter Wonderland Giveaway! Santa comes to Jordan Downs and brings with him snow and gifts to put under the trees of our families in need! Our community also experiences a rarity in Los AngelesÑa winter wonderland! In addition to the thousands of presents given to hundreds of families, our community members can play games, enjoy food, and participate in activities. This is our largest community event of the year. In it we give out toys for Christmas, essential household supplies, provide food, and much more. We could use in-kind donations of toys, food, diapers, clothing, towels, and much more. Financial support will also allow us to buy these items. Please check age requirements when registering. Please email siobhain@childrenmendinghearts.org with any questions.

Covenant House California (CHC) is a non-profit youth shelter that provides sanctuary and support for youth experiencing homelessness, ages 18-24. We believe that no young person deserves to be homeless; that every young person in California deserves shelter, food, clothing, education É and most importantly, to be loved. We are hoping that Santa will visit again this year as this is a favorite surprise for our community. All volunteers need to be at least 25 years or older. We require the volunteers to be older than the demographic that we work with which is 18-24.
