Edit: Now that I've watched the video I realize that there's a donation bucket at the end. Never mind.
yup, donation bucket at the end. I would guesstimate from being there that maybe only 50% donate, and they're not aggressive with the bucket at all. So it really is "free". But Robert is well known and well loved and the house is really enjoyed by all in the neighborhood, so those who do donate, donate substantially. Those sort of donations soon add up.
