Rhode Island Ranked Least Charitable State

'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.
