Big Sunday.
Big Sunday is a day when 50,000 volunteers come together (young and old) for community building. Things like feeding the homeless, fund-raising for non-profits, and activities to help a community in need were organized. I was asked by the Design Director (Charlie Hess) of UCLA Magazine to help cover a couple of events in Los Angeles and Hollywood. I saw many young volunteers getting involved and wanting to help with their parents. In the Morning I was at
People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) where breakfast was served for the residents. Then to the LACMA lawn where the folks at the Good Shepherd Center for homeless women and children were bussed to the Museum to enjoy family day and the art activities that the LACMA puts on during the weekend.
It’s very important that people get involved in community service. It’s good for us. It helps us gain perspective and be thankful for what we have.
