Los Angeles Nonprofit Big Sunday Holds Its 15th Thanksgiving Food Bagging Event: a Goal of 4,500 Filled Bags Reaching 18,000 People Through More Than 125 Nonprofits and Schools Across Greater Los Angeles
Big Sunday, a Los Angeles based nonprofit organization, is holding its 15th annual Thanksgiving bagging event, with a goal of filling 4,500 bags of Thanksgiving food for families in need.
The organization said the bags will be distributed the day before Thanksgiving through more than 125 nonprofit organizations and schools across the greater Los Angeles area, reaching an estimated 18,000 people.
More than 2,500 volunteers are expected to take part, packing donated food into bags at the event. Big Sunday organizes large scale community volunteer projects throughout the year, and the Thanksgiving bagging is one of its regular annual programs.
The organization event page lists ways to join the packing, donate food or give money in support of the effort, with sign up information for greater Los Angeles residents.
As Thanksgiving approaches, community organizations and food banks across Southern California are announcing holiday food distributions, and this event is one of the region wide collection and distribution efforts.
