adult contacts ukKaren Neuburger Survey Shows That While Natural Disasters Prompt Americans to Give More -- They Dont Plan on Donating Time SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The majority of Americans feel a greater need to spread comfort to those less fortunate this holiday season but dont expect them to donate their time. Only 8 percent are actually planning to volunteer the gift of time this season, according to a new national survey by the KN Karen Neuburger company. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051116/CGW036 ) When the KN Karen Neuburger Holiday Comfort Survey asked if individuals plan to give more because of the recent natural disasters, 65 percent of respondents said yes compared to nearly 36 percent who said no. Of those who said yes, 34 percent plan to give a financial donation to disaster relief and nearly 61 percent plan to donate to organizations such as Toys for Tots and food banks. A mere 7.9 percent said theyd personally volunteer at a place such as a shelter or food soup kitchen. "Americans have seen the country rocked by natural disasters and while they feel a great need to spread comfort to them, it turns out that time is the precious commodity and something most just cannot give," said Karen Neuburger, lifestyle designer for the KN Karen Neuburger brand known for making Oprahs favorite pajamas and a variety of comfort-inspired fashions and home merchandise. Of those not planning to give more this holiday season, only 23 percent cited increased heating costs as the reason why, while nearly 58 percent said they wont give more because of personal financial difficulties. Fewer than 20 percent said they plan to save versus spend more this season. While people may struggle with over-extended schedules, most find the greatest comfort in spending time with loved ones. In fact, 63 percent of Americans surveyed ranked spending time with family as the number one thing that will bring comfort during the holiday season, followed by health and wellness (25 percent), safety and security (7 percent) and volunteering to help others (4 percent). "When all is said and done, we are a society that is recharged and rejuvenated by the people that we love," Neuburger said. "Wealth for many comes not from the pocket book, but rather from our personal relationships." For the past ten years, the KN Karen Neuburger brand has spread comfort through sleepwear, home merchandise and other comfort fashions. In addition, the company has hosted Girlfriend Getaway events and pajama parties and has been an active partner with nonprofits such as The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, First Book, which promotes childrens literacy, and WomenHeart to name a few.
