'Tis the season for giving. Americans are among the most generous people in the world, but which states are the most charitable?

Americans definitely do more than reach into their pockets and donate money to charities, but they also volunteer their time as well. Which adds up to billions of dollars worth of service, and millions of hours.

New York was ranked as the 3rd most charitable state according to this report.
