Here are some statistics:
- Hunger is a horrible reality to millions right here in Los Angeles. These aren't just the homeless but children, vets, seniors, refugees and working families who are struggling to put food on the table.
- More than 1 in 5 adults are unable to provide meals for themselves. The number is far worse for children.
- More children are at risk of going hungry in L.A. County than any other county in the United States.
- A large number of these people rely on food pantries. However, many pantries can’t keep up with the enormous demand and have had to turn away hungry families.
Today, more than ever, people turn to schools, after-school programs, community centers and houses of worship to have something to eat. And many of those organizations look to Big Sunday for help.
In May we’re hosting our largest collection ever. Our goal is 10,000 (!!!) nonperishable and unexpired food items. Cans, boxes, bags. We call it 10K IN MAY.
Can you help?
You can start a collection and drop off the items at our office, 6111 Melrose Ave, M-F, 9-5 any day until the last day in May and/or donate today! No donation is too small.

Mission Statement
Big Sunday connects people through helping. We offer an enormous variety of opportunities and projects that unite people to improve lives, build community, and give everyone a sense of belonging.
Description
We organize over 2000 ways for you to get involved every year - from working on service projects at our headquarters, to helping us collect materials for food, book, and school supply drives, to joining us for school beautification projects, and much more! Below, you will find a summary of each of our programs - whether you’re interested in volunteering, contributing money or items, or co-producing a service event with us - there is truly a place for everyone at Big Sunday!
One more thing: We have participants of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. They come from all kinds of different neighborhoods, and we do work in all kinds of different neighborhoods, too. People take part in Big Sunday projects through schools, faith groups, businesses, clubs, as families and as individuals. Whoever you are, whatever you do, we can use your help.
You see, at Big Sunday, we feel there’s lots of work to be done - but we get so much more accomplished, and have so much more fun, when we do it all together.
