Some church's do make contributions to their local homeless shelters, I believe. I thought of something else though; not sure it is true. Most people that go to church are conservative, more right wing. These types of people (and I'm not dissing them, sort of like this myself) believe more in hard work and picking yourself up by your bootstraps, instead of giving handouts.
There are a lot of jobs out there, for people that want to work. I would even hire someone to do some work for me, if I knew they needed the money bad enough, like for food or something. But yes, I know the older and handicapped are needy, but most of these are taken care of by SSI and other government programs.

Do you ever go to church? My church spreads the word of God through numerous outreaches. We have missionaries all over the world helping the poor and the needy. We give over 2 million dollars to underdeveloped countries.
Maybe you are just ignorant as to what churches do.

I think you are right. We need to preach the word, and do it. As Paul mentioned, remember the poor. And James says, working faith.
Anyway, I doubt the church really presch on the word.
We need to pray for the church.

church customers are mostly rich people, and they do not want to hear about the needy, aside from couple of times a year when they sign a charity cheque, and expenct profound display of gratitude in return.
