Our View: Charities thrive on optimism, generosity � Editorials � The Free Press, Mankato, MN: "t should be no surprise that the recession has brought a drop in charitable giving.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy reported this week that charitable donations in the United States went down 11 percent in 2009, the biggest drop in 20 years.

Against that backdrop, it is heartwarming to see some local charities optimistically forging ahead with major fund drives to expand and enhance their services."
