Take Time at Thanksgiving to Support Big Sunday’s 13th Annual Stuffing Event

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.
