Vision

At Big Sunday, we see the world not as "haves-and-have-nots" but as "haves-and-have-mores." We believe that absolutely everyone has some way they can help somebody else, absolutely everyone has some time when they need help, and that we all have to look out for one another. Big Sunday is not just a community service organization; we are also a community building organization. We are proud that we are known in the community as a resource for aid, as well as a place to offer one’s time, talents, goods, or means. Our hope is to build a more connected, caring, and compassionate community.

Goals

1. 1.In addition to our regular programming, Big Sunday works to be flexible and nimble to respond to changing needs to the greatest of our ability. As people have faced the devastating effects of the pandemic, raging fires, and the risk of deportation, Big Sunday has stepped in to meet the needs of those most impacted. Our goal is to continue to respond to these crises as they arise.
2. 2.Big Sunday regularly receives donations of non-perishable food items that we then distribute to local pantries and other non-profits. The requests from our partners have continued to increase, including food and essential supplies for those impacted by the fires and immigrants afraid to leave their homes. To respond more quickly to requests, we will open our own year-round food pantry on March 13.
3. 3.Every year, the demand for our programs and events increases. We do our best to meet the demand (serving more people at our Thanksgiving event, packing more backpacks for elementary school-aged kids, etc.) Our goal is to raise more funds to continue to grow our programs.
