The area I live in is very rural and people still help each other out,but you see less and less of the "old fashioned" pie suppers and box lunches.But I do know that if I needed help I could call any of my neighbors and get it,even though I'm kinda weird and don't visit them.But I lucked out,lots of other "unusual" people on my road.
It's pretty much the same here -- usually the churches take up collections to help people out.
One of the favorite events of the year around here is a barbecue rib cookoff on a friend's ranch with an auction in the evening. It is always held to benefit a handful of local people who are facing serious financial problems -- usually, I think, as a result of cancer or other medical conditions.
