We (speaking in general) are quick to forget God and the covenants we’ve made with Him (if baptized, one of those is to assist others both spiritually and temporally), especially in times of peace and prosperity. I hope that we don’t need further disasters—be they natural or man-made—to remind us of our covenant to render aid (to all who need it), and the commandment to be equal in temporal things.

I have had opportunities to give both when asked and when not asked, and I much prefer doing so when the person was not expecting or requesting the assistance. I think this shows them (and yourself) that there really do exist kind people who are looking for opportunities to serve and better represent the Master. When we're asked to serve, it almost turns into our duty or obligation to render the assistance requested. I feel more charitable when the service project or donation is of my own design and making. We could literally change the world if each of us would go out of our way to look for one opportunity for service each day.
