You're very accurate - the days have gone by where people like helping out others. Community events to clean up are laughed at with the attitude of let someone else do it.
I try and teach my kids the lesson of that. My kids during winter will clean and shovel snow off driveways of elderly and those who've just had babies. Every time it snows. My eldest does it naturally now and it's engrained now that helping others is okay and normal.
Sadly today you don't find that anymore - maybe random stories but fewer and fewer. So good for you - trying to make a difference and helping out the community. Although they may have said that to you - trust me - they went home and thought about it - realizing their selfishness and lack of caring. Hopefully Saturday a few more showed up because they saw you cared.
