Feeding people withOUT preaching (or preying on) to them is even more preferable, and a good thing.

Who said anything about preaching to them?

Back in the day I had to go to the food pantry at the Catholic church because my child needed to be fed and there was no place else to go. Also, after being written off by my parents when I got pregnant with my first, Catholic Charities gave me a crib and some other supplies that I needed desperately. Would I rather not have had to resort to baby blankets made by old Catholic ladies? Yeah, but the bottom line is sometimes you do what you have to do to survive.
I am not so high and mighty that I can't accept help when it's offered. Now I try to give back.
