What's the other half doing?


Wow. More than one church.

Ah, you asked something like this before. Glad to get to reply.

First, we are talking about churches that do food banks. Of course most of the many christians who do not go to church are not running food banks.
They support food banks, and other causes on their own. At least the percentage of those that do charity.
Additionally many rural churches are too small to host food banks, so they do other things.

Second, they have plenty of other charities to work on; housing for the poor, support for homeless shelters, drug rehabilitation, after-school programs and Tutoring,
home repair and maintenance for those in need, back to school supplies drives, and others. It may seem that with government programs, and all the work
secular charities do that there would be no need for church charity, but churches are finding need in their communities and beyond.

Third, the study I cited previously refers to churches generally supporting food banks. It does not specify secular or no.
For clarification, this is just added to demonstrate that churches do support secular food banks.


With your fucking god on your side why are food banks necessary?


Let me guess, FREE WILL
