Big giving on Big Sunday

It started just over 10 years ago at a single local synagogue as a day of volunteerism for public-spirited congregants. Today, the effort has grown into Big Sunday weekend, an annual event that has become the largest regional community service event in America, engaging thousands of volunteers of all ages at hundreds of sites throughout the area.

Sign up here to take part in some of the myriad activities in need of able-bodied volunteers this Sunday, May 15. In the Third District, University Synagogue, located at 11960 Sunset Boulevard, will serve as a Big Sunday hub location. There, between 9 a.m. and noon, join with family and friends in a variety of activities, ranging from sorting clothes to making and selling lemonade.

For full details, see the sign-up page, or call University Synagogue at (310) 472-1255.
