SERVE Village is officially launching its annual SERVE Season inviting neighbors, businesses, and community organizations to come together to strengthen Hamilton County through service, connection, and celebration.

The SERVE Season features several community events throughout the spring and summer that bring neighbors together and encourage participation across Hamilton County including:

  • Lip Sync Battle – April 14: A fun, high-energy, multi-generational community event where local individuals, teams, and organizations take the stage to compete and celebrate community spirit.
  • Single Day of SERVE – April 24 and 25: In partnership with the Indiana Peony Festival, Noblesville Preservation Alliance, and Keep Noblesville Beautiful, this weekend of service projects helps pave the Path to the Peony Festival as we spruce up with neighbors in historic downtown.
  • COME Together Week – May 20 to 27: A grassroots initiative encouraging residents, businesses, and neighborhoods to host gatherings from cookouts to block parties to build relationships and foster community connection.
  • Longest Table, The Kickoff of COME Together Week – May 20: A signature community appreciation lunch in Seminary Park that brings nonprofit leadership together around one long table to share a meal, conversation, and connection.
  • SERVE Week – June 23 to 27: The season culminates with SERVE Week, Hamilton County’s largest volunteer mobilization, where a thousand volunteers complete about a hundred projects throughout the community, including painting, landscaping, shed building, historic sidewalk recovery, and other neighborhood beautification opportunities.

“SERVE Season is about reminding people that the strength of our community lies in our willingness to show up for one another,” SERVE Village Board President Jack Mosely said. “Every year we see neighbors, businesses, and organizations come together to make a real difference. When people serve side by side, relationships are built and our community grows stronger.”

SERVE Village is a Hamilton County-based nonprofit dedicated to activating the power of “neighbors helping neighbors,” bringing people together to serve, build relationships, and celebrate the strengths of every member of the community. Through events, programs, and neighborhood initiatives, the organization helps residents identify ways to use their talents and resources to make a meaningful impact.

“SERVE Village exemplifies what makes our community special, it’s the neighbors working together to support one another to make our city stronger,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said. “The City of Noblesville proudly joins the initiative each year to inspire civic pride, community engagement, and to give back. I encourage residents and businesses to get involved during SERVE Season and be a part of what makes our community thrive.”

Community members can participate in SERVE Season in many ways, including volunteering for SERVE Week projects, attending community events throughout the season, hosting neighborhood gatherings during COME Together Week, or sponsoring SERVE initiatives and donating to support community projects. Residents interested in participating or learning more can visit servevillage.org or follow SERVE Village on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn for updates and volunteer opportunities.
