Re: Roadside Fundraising
I also find the roadside begging distasteful. It's one thing for a charity to use the nets as a donation drive, it's another to have kids do it as a fundraiser.
What kind of entitlement mentality does this foster?
On the other hand, a little girl came by to sell me books one evening as a fundraiser to pay for her school. I gave her a few bucks, declined the books and thought to myself... that girl will go far. If she comes back, I'll probably buy her books the next time. Effort like that should be rewarded.
