Rosa, there is always something to the results of a survey. I would look carefully at the methods and the questions before jumping to conclusions about the results.
A survey done on donation habits had panned the folks here in New England and particularly MA about how stingy they were. Turns out the study was flawed in several ways that unnecessarily elevated the Southern states and lowered the New England states.
But if the study is correct then there is a great opportunity to increase and highlight some volunteer options.

Absolutely Steve, I know you are right. I chose to highlight that quote because I agree that we can simply take the opportunity to think about our own involvement and start with improvements in a personal way - we know our own truths!
This was another view in that other link I offered, that the "Ranking surprises local charities:"
"My experience is that people in Hawai'i do want to help," said Margot Schrire, who manages 3,000 volunteers at the Institute for Human Services. "That (the survey) does surprise me because at IHS volunteers are really the backbone of what we do here. Volunteering is a real powerful way that people can make a tangible difference in their community."
"Butch Dela Cruz, executive director of the Aloha Medical Mission, said the results of the study surprised him because his group has had little trouble finding its 3,000 volunteers."
