All of these are recent examples from my house:
It could be a neighbour trying to be neighbourly. "Hey- I see you are starting your fence and we have some leftover wood. Do you want it?"
I had a neighbour kid ask if I mind if he uses my basketball net at the end of the driveway.
It could be scouts selling popcorn.
It could be a hockey team doing a bottle drive.
With the latter two, when I was a kid trying to fundraise it was often disheartening to be told no, to have doors slammed, etc. I made a promise to my older self to try and help out if I could. I think the value to society for the latter examples out weighs the telling the door to door salesman that I'm not interested.
