Why is it lost?

Why is the community spirit fading away? I recently found out the Lawrenceburg Fire Department used to raise money for a Childrens Christmas Charity. They worked at a food booth every month and the week of 4-H fair and had a raffle at Fall Fest each year to raise the money to help community children have a good Christmas.

They have now given up the food booth and have no raffle planned, instead they are going to use Lawrenceburg City money to give to the children. What happened to the spirit of giving back to the community by working for it and raising the money. Now they are going to sit on their butts and just pass out city money to try to look good.

I just don't agree...I think that makes them look lazy! Why have the middle man, just let the city give the children Christmas presents instead.
