They do like to volunteer, though.

North Dakotans rank in the upper half in terms of volunteerism — #22 — but come in toward the bottom at #36 for charitable giving.
The state also ranks at #46 in terms of the percent of income donated to charitable needs.
However, North Dakota also ranks at #3 in the nation in terms of highest percent of population collecting and/or distributing food.
