You say:  "If you cared that much about starving people you'd be doing something about it instead of posting on this forum."  This could also be applied to you.  I give of my time, usually, because I don't have much money.  How do you witness by your actions, other than wasting your time criticizing atheists on their discussion forum?

It doesn't matter what I do, as I'm not criticizing God for allowing suffering to exist. I really don't care what charitable acts anyone here does - I just care about the hypocrisy.

That said, I organize a food drive at my church and have a recurring monthly donation to a local shelter set up. Pretty standard stuff. I could do a lot more if I were to sacrifice some pleasures.
