This Labor Day, we invite you to celebrate an essential sector of the American workforce: nonprofits. Here are a few statistics about the industry in Ohio.
- Nonprofits employ more than 12% of Ohio workers.
- There are nearly 60,000 nonprofits.
- The nonprofit sector generates over $103.2 billion in annual revenue for the state.
- Yearly volunteer service work is worth an estimated $6.7 billion.
- 3,052,430 volunteers contribute 278 million hours of service a year.
- 33.2% of Ohioans volunteer.
As we can see by these stats, the nonprofit sector and the volunteers that help support it truly contribute towards a thriving economy in Ohio. We at LifeCare Alliance are thankful for all our volunteers, associates, and supporters. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to continue providing our vital services to more than 20,000 Central Ohioans a year. And for that, we thank you.
In honor of Labor Day and in celebration of the nonprofit industry, here are a few things you can do:
- Celebrate with community—Invite friends and neighbors to your holiday barbecue and check on the older adults in your life. Fighting loneliness in our communities is an easy way to support many nonprofits’ missions.
- Host a drive—Work together with friends and family to gather supplies and donations for the nonprofit of your choosing. At LifeCare Alliance, we are currently accepting fans, cancer pantry items, and durable medical equipment. You can view our Amazon wish list here.
- Volunteer—Seek out local volunteer opportunities. LifeCare Alliance offers hot meal routes in five counties across Central Ohio. Sign up to volunteer Labor Day weekend at the links below:
