AUGUSTA — Literacy Volunteers of Greater Augusta will join other nonprofits and the Maine Association of Nonprofits from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, at the 14th annual Maine Nonprofit Day at the State House.
Nonprofit Day provides an opportunity for nonprofits, community members and government representatives to share their commitment to working together to creatively, efficiently and effectively serve the people of Maine, addressing a wide range of issues.
The Maine nonprofit sector is fueled by volunteers but is also is a major economic contributor, employing one out of every six Mainers. Maine’s nonprofit sector paid over $4.3 billion in wages in 2015, or 17.5 percent of the state’s total payroll.
Nonprofit Day at the State House seeks to educate lawmakers on this critical piece of our economy and celebrate the importance of the work of non-profit organizations in Maine.
Among those exhibiting at the State House are these local nonprofits:
* Advocates for Children, Lewiston
* Adaptive Outdoor Education Center, Carrabassett
* American Red Cross, statewide
* Androscoggin Homecare and Hospice, Lewiston
* Literacy Volunteers of Greater Augusta, Augusta
* Maine Indoor Air Quality Council, Augusta
