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.

Your work will help us maintain a space that is both educational and beautiful, and will positively impact both the environment and student growth. Join us to learn new skills, connect with nature, and enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding day with our local community. Together you’ll work alongside GSF staff and school families to weed the garden, refresh mulch pathways, harvest veggies from our production farm, build new raised beds, and more! After a morning of hard work and good vibes, we’ll share a light lunch together (provided by our partners at Sprouts) under the fig trees. Volunteers should wear close-toe shoes and loose, comfy clothes that are school-appropriate. Complimentary t-shirts will also be provided.
