VOLUNTEERS DOWN

In ’06 more than 61 million Americans donated their time to charity, the fewest since ’02, and down 4.4 million from ’05, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Experts note volunteering spiked after 9/11/01 and Hurricane Katrina may have played a role in that it wiped out volunteer infrastructure in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
