This coming Sunday, May 1st, animal lovers will be gathering together at Big Sunday, one of the biggest annual volunteer events in southern California.
That’s when thousands of people from Southern California, of all ages and all backgrounds, work together to lend a hand to nonprofits, schools and other agencies that need their help. Last year on Big Sunday Weekend, 50,000 volunteers turned out at more than 500 different projects from San Diego to Solvang, making Big Sunday Weekend one of the largest regional community service events in America.
Big Sunday takes place at hundreds of different sites throughout the Southland, from downtown L.A. to the Westside, from the San Fernando Valley to the San Gabriel Valley, from Orange County to the Inland Empire to Ventura County. There are opportunities for every passion, talent, skill and age. Projects are scheduled throughout the weekend, and can last anywhere from one hour to two full days. Big Sunday Weekend also includes special events such as art shows, sports days, yard sales and blood drives.
This year, one of the special activities will be benefitting FixNation!
Volunteers can sign up to host a dog biscuit booth to sell dog biscuits to benefit one of five local animal non profit organization: FixNation, Clinico, Bark Avenue Foundation, Seal Beach Animal Care Center and the Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue.
As a host, you run your own booth and staff it with your friends, family, co-workers… whoever you want as volunteers. Big Sunday will provide some supplies, including very cute and delicious (so we’ve heard!) dog biscuits, signage and more.
You can choose ANY location and time to hold your booth. The only requirement is that the booth be open for a minimum of two hours on either May 1st or May 2nd.
The original deadline for signing up was April 22nd, but that has been extended, so if you’re interested in participating SIGN UP TODAY! Complete and submit the volunteer registration at:
