In a report released this morning by the Corporation for National and Community Service, Indianapolis ranked 10th among the 51 largest cities across the country for volunteerism.\n\u201cI am fortunate to come from Indiana where a sense of community is the norm,\u201d said Congressman Andr\u00e9 Carson. \u201cI am proud of my fellow Hoosiers who, time and again, have demonstrated their willingness to put their skills and experience to good use in improving our neighborhoods and communities.\u201d\nThe report finds residents in Indy volunteered 38.9 million hours equaling an estimated economic impact of $795 million dollars in 2015.\u00a0\n\u201cIndianapolis is blessed to have incredible non-profit, faith-based and community organizations. Yet the work they do wouldn\u2019t be possible without the thousands of volunteer hours our residents pledge to these groups each year,\u201d said Indianapolis Mayor, Joe Hogsett. \u201cWe are honored to have our hard work recognized nationally and will continue to celebrate our community\u2019s dedication to making Indianapolis a great place for all.\u201d\nThe annual report is produced through a partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and provides a comprehensive collection of information on volunteering and civic engagement with detailed data for all 50 states and nearly 200 cities.
