'Tis the season for giving! But how much do we in Rhode Island actually give to charity  compared to other states?

Not much, apparently.

According to a recent study by WalletHub, Rhode Islanders donate less time and money than any other state in the United States. The study analyzed a total of eight key metrics such as: volunteer rate, percentage of the population who donated time and money, and the median contribution to charity.
