I agree 100%!
Don't get me wrong, all groups need money, but actual "work" is not only often more valuable, it's more rewarding.
So you raise $5000 for a cancer hospital. That's great, it really is, but how far does that go? Do you even know what $5000 buys? Probably not. I know I don't. But if put bark down on a playground, tutor some kids, or visit senior citizens in a home, you can really see and feel the impact you are making. There are some things money can't buy. Sure, you could pay someone to go chat with the older folks on your behalf ... but it wouldn't be cost-effective.
Besides, you should give what you have - and while most college students are broke and busy, I know I at least had more time to give than money!
