I wouldn't have figured out that portmanteau word on my own, Dave. When I was a young teen there was a charitable group that would have kids collect money for them, standing on sidewalks downtown or at a couple of the large department stores at the top of their parking lots - and now I can't honestly say I know that they were legitimate. No one did much research on those groups in the late 1960s. (Out of curiosity I Googled my town and the name of the group and find a piece from 2014 in my hometown newspaper, looking back 50 years to the kids collecting for that group in 1964. I came along a few years later.)

The old truism "charity begins at home" is best understood when you live in a place where you actually know your neighbors and understand who needs help. Making the effort to keep up with the neighbors is important.
