one of the biggest fundraisers the firefighters do around her is a boot drive.........yep, they stand in front of the station right in the road and hold out their boots for drivers to donate into.

I agree with your rant-nearly every weekend, there are kids at the 4 way stop at the farm road intersection, asking for donations-every group from Little League to soccer teams. I, also don’t know why they can’t sell something, like the Girl Scouts and others do. There are always cookies and candy being sold by school groups, and bake sales at least once a month at the community center. My daughter asked me awhile back why kids didn’t sell stuff any more for activity groups.
