Lodgic Everyday Community: Nonprofit Night Out & Volunteer Fair
Madison is a pitch-in, lend-a-hand and help-a-neighbor town. To celebrate that philanthropic spirit, Lodgic Everyday Community is hosting a nonprofit night out & volunteer fair, Monday, Nov. 14, from 4-7 p.m. in its event spaces at 2801 Marshall Ct. in the Village of Shorewood Hills.
“We identified – as part of our mission at Lodgic – that we could fill a niche and utilize our community spaces to connect local residents with a wide variety of volunteer opportunities from a roster of great organizations looking for additional support,” says Madison-Based Margaret Ebeling, the interim CEO of Lodgic. “We constructed this event as a small step to answering the often-asked question ‘how can I help?’ especially now when the need for volunteers is so great and the supply so low.”
The volunteer fair runs from 4-7 p.m. and participants will include: The American Red Cross – Wisconsin Region; The Beacon; Big Brother Big Sister; The Canopy Center; Dream Bikes; GiGi’s Playhouse; Heartland Farm Sanctuary; Keep Calm Sensory Zone; The Literacy Network; Lodgic Everyday Community; Lussier Community Education Center; New Bridge Madison; Porchlight; Reach Dane; Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin; Special Olympics Wisconsin; Urban League of Greater Madison; United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Dane County, the UW Arboretum, Ronald McDonald House Charities Madison, and more.
Post-volunteer fair, Lodgic will host a special-nonprofit-networking hour from 7-8 p.m. “For us, the 14th will be a night of making connections and showcase all the good that people make happen here in Madison and beyond,” adds Ebeling. “It all part of our mission to ‘Do a Little Good Every Day’ here at Lodgic.” The nonprofit night out and volunteer fair are free to attend and open to the public. Free parking is available underneath Lodgic’s building, at the University Crossing medical complex on the north side of Marshall Court or on surrounding streets.
