Thanks for your interest! This holiday season we have over 800 (!!!) (and counting!) different opportunities for you to help someone else.
This year has been challenging, especially in Los Angeles. So, as we come to the end of 2025, we’re especially happy to provide this year’s list, with so many ways to help: volunteering, giving or some combination thereof. There are projects for all kinds of interests and all kinds of passions, for all kinds of people (of all ages), all over town. Some listings are specifically holiday-related, while others – equally important – are more general, yet needed just as badly. The list is primarily ordered by date. For those looking for more flexible options, ongoing opportunities (available from November 1st through January 1st) are listed towards the end. And by the way, we’ll be updating this list weekly through December, so keep checking back!).
This year, more than ever: Whoever you are, whatever you do, there is somebody who could use your help.
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.
If you’ve taken on or completed one of these projects, please email alondra@bigsunday.org and let us know – that way, we can thank you and direct other people to projects that still need their help!
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.
Please respect any safety protocols of our nonprofit partners. Also, please note that participation confirms you hold Big Sunday and our nonprofit partners harmless to any claims stemming from this activity. (When applicable, you will be asked to sign a waiver). Thanks for understanding.
Have fun! Thanks so much again for your kind help, and have a wonderful holiday season!

Donate to Support Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood
At Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach , they believe that no child should ever have to worry about their next meal. Last year, they served more than 250,000 free meals to their Club members. During the school year, every child who walks through their doors receives a snack and a hot dinner before they head home. In the summer, they provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner — ensuring kids are nourished all day, every day. But they don’t stop there. Through their cooking and gardening programs, members gain life skills, confidence, and joy. And for families facing food insecurity, they share pantry staples and leftover meals to help at home. To directly support this critical effort to feed and teach local children, donating to the Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach ensures that no child has to worry about their next meal and that they gain valuable life skills through cooking and gardening programs.

Donate to Support Bolsa Chica Conservancy
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.
