Community
As a law firm focused on Ohio personal injury law, our team at Rinehardt Injury Attorneys is committed to helping injured victims in need and those living in the communities we serve. Our attorneys and staff are volunteers and donors for various non-profit organizations and charities. We regularly participate in events that raise funds or awareness about important issues related to our communities with a focus on safety. Our goal as an Ohio personal injury attorney is to make a difference to our clients and our community in big ways and small. We are dedicated to giving back to the communities we call home by giving our time and our financial support.
Below is a sample of our recent community service:
Each November, Rinehardt Injury Attorneys host our annual ThanksGIVEaway, providing 200 turkeys and pies to families in Mansfield and the surrounding communities. In 2025, we proudly celebrated our 9th year of this tradition, and we look forward to continuing it for many years to come.
Rinehardt Injury Attorneys proudly volunteer our time, funds, and talents to support the Richland County Dog Shelter and its mission to care for homeless dogs in our community. Our team has sponsored the renovation of three adoption rooms, including custom mural artwork created by our talented staff member, Suzanna, to make these spaces more welcoming for both dogs and potential adopters.
We also support Friends of the Richland County Dogs, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving shelter resources and outcomes for dogs in need. Our staff member, Stephanie, serves on the board, helping guide fundraising and community outreach efforts.
In addition to financial and creative support, our team actively participates in shelter fundraisers such as the annual 5K and basket auction, and many of our staff members spend time walking, playing with, and socializing shelter dogs. Giving back to animals in need is a cause close to our hearts, and we are grateful to be part of making a difference.
Each year, Rinehardt Injury Attorneys proudly spread holiday cheer by delivering gifts to the Richland County Children’s Auxiliary, also known as The New Store. This incredible organization provides support and holiday joy to local children and families in need, and we are grateful to play a small part in making their Christmas season brighter. Giving back to our community in this way is a tradition close to our hearts, and we look forward to continuing it for many years to come.
Each year, Rinehardt Injury Attorneys proudly support Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine, a prom experience designed to celebrate individuals with special needs in our community. This unforgettable event honors each guest with a night filled with joy, dancing, and unconditional acceptance.
Our support goes beyond financial contributions. Members of our team volunteer their time to help make the evening special, from assisting with food service to serving as buddies and sharing in the excitement of the honored guests. It is a privilege to be part of an event that so beautifully highlights the value of every individual.
We are grateful to support Night to Shine each year and look forward to continuing this meaningful tradition in the future.
Each May, Rinehardt Injury Attorneys recognize Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. While our past campaigns included daily safety blogs, office giveaways, and large-scale safety gear drawings, our current focus is on raising awareness through social media messaging and community visibility. Watch for May 2026 as we explore new ways to bring attention to motorcycle safety in our community.
Starting in 2018, Rinehardt Injury Attorneys expanded our efforts to promote child passenger safety in our community. Throughout Child Passenger Safety Awareness Month, we shared car seat safety tips on our website and Facebook page and invited community members in need of a car seat to enter for a giveaway.
We love giving back through initiatives like this and look forward to continuing our car seat safety efforts in the years ahead.
Rinehardt Injury Attorneys proudly support the Richland County Humane Society, an organization dedicated to helping abandoned and homeless dogs and cats in our community. Attorney John Rinehardt serves as President of the Board, reflecting our firm’s deep commitment to animal welfare and rescue efforts.
In addition to providing financial support, our staff actively participates in fundraising initiatives such as the Humane Society’s annual Dogs, Donuts and Drinks event. Their mission is one that is close to the heart of our office, and we are grateful to play a role in helping animals in need find safety, care, and loving homes.
Attorney Melanie Fahey sits on the Board of Trustees as President-Elect of Community Action for Capable Youth (“CACY”). CACY is a Richland County Organization working to prevent and reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and to move Richland county towards being a drug-free community. CACY continues to follow its tradition of providing drug-related education in local schools, but it also has expanded to include programming on bullying prevention, gambling prevention, and suicide prevention, just to name a few. It also provides counseling to at-risk youth and holds events such as a conference to inspire young girls, multiple parenting programs, health fairs, and more. We consider this an important endeavor in this community and are proud to participate in helping CACY achieve its goals.
Rachel Rinehardt is not only one of our dedicated attorneys but also serves as President of the Richland County Bar Association. In this role, she coordinates the Richland County District Mock Trial Competition, overseeing and organizing this important educational event for local high school students.
Each year, thousands of students across Ohio participate in the competition for the opportunity to advance to the regional stage. The program challenges students to think critically, develop advocacy skills, and gain real-world insight into the legal system.
The competition is hosted at the Richland County Courthouse and brings together teams from area high schools. We are proud to support an event that encourages young minds to engage with the law and develop a passion for justice.
