National study ranks Utah No. 1 for volunteering time
SALT LAKE CITY – When 583 evacuees from Hurricane Katrina arrived in Utah last year, there were so many people here eager to help that the assistance hot lines had to be shut down after getting 7,000 calls the first day. That's 12 volunteers per evacuee. So it wasn't a surprise when on Monday, a federal volunteer agency released a study that showed Utah residents volunteer more often and give more of their time than people in any other state. |

More adults are finding time to volunteer
Volunteerism is on the rise as 5.6 million more Americans donated their time last year than in 2002, a recent study found, with women besting men in every state. A federal study on state volunteerism, released yesterday by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), found that 65.4 million (28.8 percent) of American adults volunteered last year. In every region and state, women volunteered at a higher rate than men and married people were more likely to donate time and resources than single people. |
