Not surprising that in religious areas you can get everywhere a free meal for the poor,
even not-poor local people dare to join too, after all it's for free.
Is this real charity to let the poor eat out of your hands ? Why not giving them a better education
and a proper paid job ?

PS
All giving that expect a recompense (institutions-politicians-religion) abuse often charity
for their business ... altruist sharing-caring from heart to heart is true charity
