My big bitch about charity is with people (and I know a ton of em) who work for nonprofits, and so think that's their "bit". They figure, "Well, I only make X dollars, and I work for a "good agency" so I don't need to give money away. I'm giving time instead."
I hate this.
Volunteering time for something is different than getting paid (however little) for the same work. Being undercompensated does not let you off the hook for helping people WAY undercompensated.
Especially if you then spend all your dough on overpriced organic T shirts that promote social justice as an aesthetic.
