It's Great To Be A Hawkeye(by birth)


DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa is ranked 2nd in the nation for the number of residents who volunteer.

A new report estimated that 37.9 percent of Iowans volunteered between 2008 and 2010. Their volunteer efforts amounted to almost 93.4 million hours, time valued at almost $2 billion.

Utah again led the nation by maintaining its volunteering rate of 44.5 percent. Nationwide, the volunteer rate dipped to 26.3 percent from last year's 26.8 percent.

The Corporation for National and Community Service puts out the annual report using U.S. Census Bureau data.
