Community Outreach Events

Do you love connecting with people and giving back to your community? We're looking for volunteers to help bring our local events to life.

Responsibilities may include (depending on event):
• Help manage registration or check-in area
• Support vendors, presenters, or performers
• Guide attendees and answer questions
• Distribute promotional material or refreshments
• Help keep the event area clean and welcoming

Each event comes with its own unique needs, so we create a dedicated Sign-Up Genius link outlining available roles and time slots. To rally support, we send out email invitations and share calls for volunteers across social media. You’ll also find sign-up links conveniently listed on our Events page(s), so getting involved is just a click away!

Tabling Events

Friends of Noah regularly collaborates with local organizations to participate in tabling events throughout the community. These casual, 2–3 hour gatherings offer a fun and meaningful way to support our mission while connecting with others. These events typically feature an informational table stocked with brochures and pamphlets. Some events also include simple games or activities for kids.

Friends of Noah is currently seeking a volunteer for a tabling event at Mounds Pet Food Warehouse in Janesville. Hours are 10am - 12pm on the 4th Saturday of EVERY OTHER MONTH.
