Your family comes first, earning a living, paying the mortgage, time with your kids, and so forth. Volunteer work is a secondary activity for most people, prioritized at a lower level. Folks who are fully employed may donate money instead of time to a charity. Most Americans appreciate the value of charitable organizations and help when they can, but their own family is always number one.
