Serve Village Inc

SERVE Noblesville is committed to building a stronger and more resilient community by engaging residents, utilizing community assets, and fostering a sense of belonging. We do that through a number of programs, events, and resources. 

FUN Fest

Where FUN stands for Food, Unity, and Neighbors, this is our community's cultural festival. Beginning in 2018, this festival underscores the importance of cultural celebration and community engagement.

FUN Fest provides a vibrant platform for families and individuals to enjoy entertainment, cultural insight, and food that highlights and celebrates the diversity of the community's past, present, and growing future. With over 50 languages spoken in our local high school, this event fosters a safe and interactive environment where diverse neighbors can be seen and celebrated. It promotes community cohesion and serves as a catalyst for fostering new relationships while celebrating the vibrant spirit of our community.

Since 2018 we continue to see this event grow. This last year we partner with the Noblesville Mayor's Youth Council. We have over 34 booths and over 400 in attendance experiencing great food, music, dance, and conversations as we met and learned more about one another. 

COME TOGETHER Week

COME Together Week is transformative, with events tailored to bring Noblesville residents together. Throughout the week we invite the community, neighbors, businesses, and organizations, to host parties, gatherings and/or events that bring people together and fill out an application on our website. We then pick four events and award them $200! It’s a great way to build community and connections that help to make Noblesville a great place to live. We also kick the week off with The LONGEST Table. This appreciation event invites local nonprofit staff and board members for a shared lunch and networking opportunity in the heart of the city. With multiple tables set up end-to-end, the event symbolized unity and connection within our community. Building on this success, we expanded the event in 2024 to feature 108 feet of tables and welcomed 82 attendees representing 30 organizations. Our goal for the future is to transform this gathering into a full nonprofit expo, providing a platform for the community to meet and learn about the various nonprofits that serve and support Noblesville.

SERVE Week

The capstone of the 2024 season, SERVE Week, was a powerful testament to the spirit of volunteerism in Noblesville. Beginning with the 200 attendees who helped us at the SERVE Week Kickoff, sparking energy and enthusiasm for the days ahead. Then throughout the week, over 700 hundred volunteers participate in about 90 diverse service projects across the city, including park clean-ups, neighborhood beautification, and community support services. In 2024, we had 30 community groups, 22 businesses, 16 nonprofit agencies, and 4 churches who offered their time and energy alongside our neighbors. SERVE Week sees over 2,400 hours of volunteer work completed, with measurable improvements in public spaces and substantial support extended to local organizations, with a reinvestment of over $126,000 back into our community. 

IMPACT Noblesville

In January on 2024, we proudly launched ImpactNoblesville.com a comprehensive, free volunteer platform and integrated app designed to connect the entire community. This innovative resource offers significant benefits to community members, nonprofits, and the business's community. To date, we have had 23 nonprofits register, hosting 130 events and 1203 opportunities, and 453 visitors.   

NEIGHBORHOOD Activation

Neighborhood Activation empowers the 12 historic neighborhoods within downtown Noblesville. We will work closely with residents, and businesses within those neighborhoods to identify and address specific aspirations while providing a playbook to create a sense of community pride and ownership. This grassroots-level approach strengthens community bonds, promotes self-sufficiency, and improves the overall quality of life within our neighborhoods.

NEIGHBORHOOD Beautification

We want to inspire pride, belonging, and well-being by improving the physical environment that complements Noblesville's expansion and updates. Our Neighborhood Beautification works within the 6.5 square miles of historic Noblesville to create pocket parks along alleyways, enhance alleyways with a three-mile mural walkway throughout the neighborhoods, implement sustainable landscaping projects, and install gateways into neighborhoods providing placemaking and connectivity.
