If everything were free - why would you need a charity worker? Get your own damn stuff. It's free isn't it? (See how quickly that breaks down?) There is not a sane person on this earth that wants to do something for someone else just because. There is always a motivating factor - love, money, power, sex, ice cream...
The barter system doesn't work if you have nothing to trade, so a currency solves that. You provide goods or services, and someone gives you currency in return. That currency represents value that you can now use to obtain the goods or services you want / need.
Ta da! It's a win win.
