Some Hard Questions For The Anti-Volunteer Folk

First of all, did every quake-struck winery and business in Napa that got volunteer recovery help violate state law? After all, they are for-profit businesses.

And how about this business owner in Willits whose child care business was destroyed by a fire? If you help her, will she be a criminal?

And I cannot  forget a HUGE stink  raised by public school teachers and employees in a district near me back in the 1990s when a strike was threatened because parents were volunteering to pick up slack during  budget cut-backs. That was one of several reasons we sent our children to private schools where parental efforts and contributions … and volunteers are appreciated.
