Loyal and hard-working, these altruists deserve recognition for their dedication.

According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly a quarter of Americans volunteered their time with an organization during the pandemic from September 2020 to September 2021. Their commitment hit more than 4 billion hours of service with an approximate value of nearly $123 billion. Any of the people who give of their time – from cleaning waterways, to playing with shelter dogs, to caddying at charity golf outings – would appreciate the branded items here as appreciation gifts.

Eco organizations can show appreciation to volunteers with the Ocean Bottle made of stainless steel and recycled materials. It’s leak-proof, dishwasher-safe and double wall-insulated, and has a double lid for easy filling and drinking. Comes in six colors. Each bottle funds the collection of 25 pounds of ocean-bound plastic, the equivalent of 1,000 plastic bottles.

Whether used in the home, as a gift or in an Airbnb rental, this pillowcase offers optimal branding space for businesses, schools and charitable organizations. It measures 20 inches by 30 inches and features a one-sided, full-color, full-bleed imprint.

Professional service firms looking to self-promote can use this wine & cheese picnic cooler as a silent auction or raffle item for volunteer appreciation events. It’s insulated and includes two wine glasses, corkscrew, cheese knife and hardwood cutting board. The cooler area is divided into three separate sections – two for wine bottles, and one larger area for food.

Here’s a fun gift for shelter volunteers and fosters: a dog collar with bottle opener. It’s made from upcycled bicycle inner tubes and features a latch lock buckle. Users can easily open their favorite beverages without having to carry additional tools.

With golf season in full swing, more companies and organizations will soon be hosting their annual charity outings. Make sure you get in on the action with this double-sided golf flag. It measures 14 inches by 20 inches and has a digital print on knit polyester. Great for sponsor logos, advertising messages and as a souvenir for players and event volunteers.

Long-time loyal volunteers will enjoy a nice pour from the Panor whiskey glasses. Made of high-quality glass, the smooth cylindrical body affords a balanced grip. Available with six different bottom colors. Also ideal for distillery tours and as a gift with purchase.
