People on the fringe of the community are not always the ones that profit the most from charity. Also giving someone a crutch when they need to build muscle trough encouragement is not a solution. Like offering a bicycle to a lazy person when all they want cable TV and pizza .
@Jeff Dugan I tried to start a seed swap/library and it failed miserably, the village I live in is very small and everyone prefers the" normal "thing of buying what you want from a shop.
